Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is gearing up for his upcoming Hercules movie that comes out on July 25, but he hasn't ruled out a return to the ring and even discussed the plans of him facing Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania XXX falling through.

Johnson talked to Michelle Beadle on ESPN's SportsNation earlier this week and talked about his WrestleMania XXVIII and XXIX matches with John Cena, as well as the fact that he was injured during their last clash which canceled a feud with Brock Lesnar. Johnson also said he'd like to return.
"Yeah I would love to wrestle another match again," Johnson said. "I got hurt at WrestleMania and the plan was the very next night on RAW, I was going to start a very long feud with Brock Lesnar. And unfortunately, I got hurt and I had to go home and get MRIs the next day and I found out I tore two tendons from my pelvis in the match against John, so the plans for me and Brock were put on hold. WrestleMania XXX, one of the main events was gonna be Rock vs. Brock Part II and if that had gone well then we were possibly thinking about WrestleMania [31] in [California]."

Johnson went further into detail about how he talked to WWE CEO Vince McMahon about a potential comeback and a match with Lesnar at last year's WrestleMania XXX. Lesnar is expected to face John Cena in the SummerSlam main event this August.
"As with athletes and what we do it just happens and it was such a bad injury that sidelined things for a good time," Johnson said. "So there's other plans for Brock right now and getting back in the ring right now I've been talking to Vince about the idea. It's one of those things, we've just gotta figure out what opponent would make sense. What opponent would actually have the marquee matchup value. That of either John Cena, as John had in the past two main events that we did, or Brock Lesnar."
Johnson also talked about up and coming Superstars possibly elevating themselves to a marquee match with "The People's Champion."
"We're still finding guys there now who are hungry guys, who are on the come up, Johnson said. "Like Bray [Wyatt], like my cousin Roman Reigns. They are [pushing Reigns], I like it. I'm not quite sure when, but I would love to go back."
Johnson is open to the idea of coming back to the squared circle, but for now wrestling fans can catch him on the big screen in Hercules on July 25.
