The Rock comments on if he will be having any more matches following WWE Wrestlemania 40

As seen during WWE Wrestlemania 40 Saturday, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson and Roman Reigns defeated Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins when Rock pinned Cody. While speaking to media at the Wrestlemania Saturday press conference, Rock was asked if there was a moment that he knew he wanted to make his return to WWE. Here was Rock’s response…

“Yes, there was. When Ari Emanuel called and said, ‘I’m going to buy the company.’ ‘Okay, what does that strategy look like.’ We discussed that. There was talks almost two years ago about me returning to WrestleMania 39 in Los Angeles. We thought everything was going to dovetail nicely into that, great story. That didn’t shake out in the way we had anticipated, and that’s okay. I had said back then to the people we were negotiating with, ‘Maybe it’s time to put the pencils down and we’ll revisit when it feels right.’ Between putting the pencils down a year and a half, two years ago, regarding WrestleMania 39, the actuality of the selling of the company, that became impetus to look holistically at doing WrestleMania 40 in Philadelphia. A lot of things had to come together. The agreement, the deal, I’m not worried about that, especially when the negotiations are between myself, Ari Emanuel, and Nick Khan. I wasn’t concerned about the agreement. My number one priority was, can I comeback and have real value this time around and not coming back for hot shots or one night. It’s fun, it’s fun for the fans, but I wanted something a lot more substantial, but something we could really build upon. These past two or three months, we’ve been laying ground work nicely and not only building for WrestleMania this weekend, but I think beyond that and the future.”

When asked if he will be having any more matches, Rock said the following…

“There might be. I can’t elaborate that much on that, but there might be. I love what I do. I love our business. I was born into our business. We’ll see.” (quotes courtesy of Jeremy Lambert)
