The Rock Teases a Match at WrestleMania 32

The Rock made his last WWE appearance at WrestleMania in Santa Clara, California this past March. He and MMA star Ronda Rousey encountered The Authority in a WrestleMania moment that left people buzzing for days. And in a new interview, “The Great One” teases a match at WrestleMania 32.

Speaking with Sports Illustrated under his real name Dwayne Johnson, the former WWE Champion revealed there have been conversations between he and upper brass that would see him wrestle at the big event:

“Myself, Vince, Triple H have talked about creating something that is amazing,” said Johnson. “Any time for me, going back into the WWE, especially if it’s a match – and these guys know this because of the open dialogue between me and Triple H – the question is, can we create, in terms of a promotional scale for the fans, something better than what we did in Miami and back-to-back in New York with John Cena? Can we put together something that’s different but equally, if not more, exciting? So there’s a lot of elements involved that we continue to talk about and chop up. That’s the coolest part about the relationship I have with the McMahons, including Triple H.”

He also confirmed WWE is pushing hard to break the attendance record.

“Look, the platform is there,” said Johnson. “You have Dallas and could set an attendance record, so that’s the first goal. And then what is the match that allows us to do that? I’ve had incredible matches with Triple H, so I’m not ruling it out, but I’m not saying it is going to happen.

The Rock also insinuated Triple H is the one who is pushing for a match between the two:

“We continue to talk about it, and we’re still shooting each other text messages. He sent me a message from Dallas that said, ‘This could be us. The record is ours.’ So we’ll see.”

The Rock and Triple H could tear down the house potentially. The story for it could be immense.
