Report: The Rock interested in returning to ring at WrestleMania 35
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is reportedly considering a return to the ring next year.
Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports (via Wrestling Inc's Marc Middleton) that there has been talk of Johnson being interested in WrestleMania 35.
Johnson told WWE correspondent Cathy Kelley earlier this month that he "can't wait to get back into a WWE ring," which prompted Elias to call him out during an interview with Sirius XM's Busted Open Radio.
"Why don't you come and Walk With Elias and I can show you how it's really done."@TheRock said he "Can't wait to get back in a #WWE ring," and @IAmEliasWWE told @davidlagreca1 & @TheMarkHenry he'll show him who the true axeman of #RAW is if he decides to return. pic.twitter.com/HqfyhCveKE

WrestleMania 35 will be held at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, which isn't far from where Johnson made his WWE debut as Rocky Maivia at Survivor Series in 1996.
WWE approached Johnson about teaming up with Ronda Rousey in her match against Triple H and Stephanie McMahon at WrestleMania 34, but he was unable due to his busy movie schedule.
