Night one of WWE WrestleMania XL saw Roman Reigns and The Rock team up to take on Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in an epic tag team match. The Bloodline emerged victorious, setting the stage for a showdown between Reigns and Rhodes on night two for the WWE Undisputed Universal Championship in a ‘Bloodline Rules’ match.
After the match, The Rock had a chat with the media during the post-Mania scrum.
“You can. Absolutely. Final Boss can’t tell you that. I can’t tell anybody that. I have to keep everyone guessing, including Cody Rhodes. That’s important. You can sure expect the unexpected and a lot of surprises,” said The Rock.
During the scrum, The Rock was also asked about his future in wrestling for WWE.
“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,” he responded.
When questioned about his thoughts on returning to WWE, The Rock revealed that a conversation with Ari Emanuel from Endeavor, who mentioned buying WWE, prompted him to consider his return.
“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 groundwork nicely and not only building for WrestleMania this weekend, but I think beyond that and the future,” The Rock shared.
