The actor tweeted that he knew something "that will shock the world" about an hour before President Obama's big announcement that Bin Laden had been killed during an assault on his drone-proof compound in Pakistan.
According to multiple reports, the first tweet to specifically mention Bin Laden's death was sent out by Keith Urbahn, the chief of staff at former US Defense secretary Donald Rumsfeld's office.
The message read: "So I'm told by a reputable person they have killed Osama Bin Laden. Hot damn." The post was followed up two minutes later by a tweet that read: "Don't know if it's true, but let's pray it is."
However, at exactly the same time as Urbahn's first tweet was sent out, Johnson also wrote: "Just got word that will shock the world - Land of the free...home of the brave DAMN PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
The WWE wrestler has not yet commented on whether his message was referring to Bin Laden.
