The Rock Speaks On His WWE Return, John Cena & More

– Former WWE Champion Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson spoke with Live Audio Wrestling about his highly anticipated return to World Wrestling Entertainment. In the interview, Johnson said that wrestling a match was not out of the question, but would only do it if he could “rip up” the writing for the current TV product, and tap into the magic of the Attitude Era.

Johnson says that he wants to create something special beyond just guest hosting a edition of Monday Night Raw.

“I want to use the platform as a host to literally rip things open. There’s so much stuff we can do,” Johnson told John Pollock of LAW. “We’re going to create an incredible show, an incredible Raw. I’m doing another movie, but after that, we’re going to create something special, unique, something badass for the fans. Talking to Vince (McMahon), whenever that’s going to be, we’re going to have a great time.”

When asked about wrestling another match, Johnson said “I accomplished everything I wanted to accomplish in wrestling, so I wouldn’t rule out going back,” Johnson said. “If the match was right and we could create something really unique and cool for the fans and for my opponent and for the company, I would do it in a second.”

When asked if he would face John Cena, Johnson replied “I’ve never been interested in wrestling John Cena. The guys I wrestled in the past – from Goldberg to Hogan to Austin – were guys who I’ve really wanted to wrestle. If it can be done creatively but not only that, it’s very important if I do back is that the writing has to be ripped open and really be pushed,” Johnson said. “I came from a time in the Attitude era where we trail-blazed a lot and were fearless in the things we said and did.”

Johnson added: “There are a lot of restrictions now on the product, which by the way, I understand, and I enjoy some of the stuff I see and I know some of the writers and they’re challenged every week, but if in fact I do go back, it would be an interesting collision of an Attitude time that I loved and the time now, but I’m sure we can always infuse things to make it work.”
