Dwayne Johnson, "The Rock," Emergency Hernia Surgery...Missed " Pain And Gain" Premiere

Former pro-wresteler turned actor Dwayne Johnson, 40, had an emergency hernia operation for three hernial tears he suffered while wrestling John Cena during WrestleMania earlier this month.

Johnson, aka "The Rock," underwent surgery Monday, and the doctors had a success. He is currently doing fine, recovering at home.

Sustaining injuries from a wrestling match earlier this month, Dwaune Johnson suffered a torn abdomen and abductor muscles, when defending his WWE Champion title in an April 7 match against contender John Cena. Cena won the match that took place at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium in front of a crowd of nearly 80,000 people.

He had to miss the Los Angeles premiere for his latest flick "Pain & Gain" which co-stars Mark Walburg.

The Rock posted on his Twitter page Sunday:

"Saw my Dr who had to push my intenseness back thru the tear in my abdomen. Kinda romantic. Surgery is next week." #BringItOn

Ironically, the actor plays a workout-obsessed body builder in the upcoming film "Pain and Gain." Time to take some time out Dwayne!

Director Michael Bay also wished him well from the red carpet and said, "Dwayne's hurt tonight. He was pushing it too hard. [He] needs to grow up and stop wrestling 300-pound men." Agreed!
