Previewing his upcoming match with John Cena at WrestleMania 29 to IGN.com, WWE Champion Dwayne âThe Rockâ Johnson explained why he wanted to face the Cenation leader again after defeating him at last yearâs show.
âYou have to understand that my return back into the WWE was years in the making. And since Iâve been back, itâs been a three year-long journey that started at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta. So John has always been my first choice,â Johnson told Matt Fowler.
While contemplating his return to the sports-entertainment organization years ago, Johnson revealed that he wanted to work with the wrestler who he felt would generate the biggest business.
âHereâs the thing,â said Johnson. âThe question was that if I was going to go back in the WWE, how could I go back and make the most impact? With who can I headline WrestleMania in that company and make the most impact? And the bottom line is that it continues to be John Cena. Just in terms of, and weâll use a Hollywood term here, box office appeal. Universal appeal. Athletic pairing. So there are a lot of reasons.â
The Hollywood heavyweight also says he returned to WWE to give back; to elevate the company that led to his success as well as elevate their ânumber one hero.â
Johnson continued, âWith some great drama, some great emotion. This scenario for me is one that Iâve honestly dreamed of. A dream match. And what Iâm talking about is being able to go back to the WWE and give back to the business, which is in my blood and has allowed me a platform to perform which then, twelve years ago, allowed me to make he transition to Hollywood. So the scenario Iâve dreamed of is that Iâm able to go back, become WWE Champion, go into the what is considered the biggest marketplace in the world, which is the New York City area, at MetLife Stadium and headline WrestleMania as champion and give back to the business, the fans, the company and their number one hero. So I couldnât have asked for a better scenario and weâre going to have a blast.â
Regarding the WrestleMania bout itself, Johnson said, âI think weâre going to have a great match and my hope is that itâs going to be a classic.â
