The Rock reveals why he made a comeback to WWE

Talking about his upcoming match with John Cena at WrestleMania 29, WWE Champion Dwayne Johnson a.k.a “The Rock” went on to explain why he is wrestling with John Cena again having defeated him the last year’s WrestleMania.

Johnson said to a website: “You have to understand that my return back into the WWE was years in the making. And since I’ve been back, it’s been a three year-long journey that started at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta. So John Cena has always been my preferred choice.”

While reviewing his return to the sports-entertainment company years ago, Rock openly admitted that he wanted to work with the wrestler who he felt would generate “big business” and “box office appeal”.

“Here’s the thing,” Johnson went on to add: “The question was that if I was going to go back in the WWE, how could I go back and make the most impact? With who can I headline WrestleMania in that company and make the most impact? And the bottom line is that it continues to be John Cena. Just in terms of, and we’ll use a Hollywood term here, box office appeal. Universal appeal. Athletic pairing. So there are a lot of reasons.”

Meanwhile on his return his return to WWE he says he wants to give back and to elevate the company that has given him the success in Hollywood.

Johnson continued, “With some great drama, some great emotion. This scenario for me is one that I’ve honestly dreamed of. A dream match. And what I’m talking about is being able to go back to the WWE and give back to the business, which is in my blood and has allowed me a platform to perform which then, twelve years ago, allowed me to make he transition to Hollywood. So the scenario I’ve dreamed of is that I’m able to go back, become WWE Champion, go into the what is considered the biggest marketplace in the world, which is the New York City area, at MetLife Stadium and headline WrestleMania as champion and give back to the business, the fans, the company and their number one hero. So I couldn’t have asked for a better scenario and we’re going to have a blast.”

On the topic of the bout itself, Rock said, “I think we’re going to have a great match and my hope is that it’s going to be a classic.”
