In an interview with TV Insider, former WWE creative team writer Brian Gewirtz was asked about The Rock potentially wrestling again.
The former WWE Champion hasn’t wrestled for WWE since WrestleMania 29 in 2013. WWE reportedly wants to book Rock vs. Roman Reigns at next year’s WrestleMania.
“I sometimes learn of Dwayne’s wrestling aspirations the way everyone else does: through his social media posts,” Gewirtz said. “There are so many factors that go into Dwayne’s appearance in terms of a WWE ring. Between his movie schedule and health. Infamously at WrestleMania against John Cena, it resulted in some pretty horrific injuries that required surgery and the delaying of the Hercules movie at the time.
“I also know this is a passion and business he was born into and born with. That never truly goes away. I don’t know if you’ve seen the guy lately, but he is in pretty good shape. I think he could probably do it if push came to shove. I think it comes down to what he wants to do and when. It comes down to what Dwayne wants to do. I’m sure WWE would be more than happy to have him.”
