WWE Superstar-turned-actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson appeared on "SportsCenter" Tuesday and answered questions regarding a potential WWE return as well as LeBron James leaving his hometown Miami Heat to return to the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Johnson, who was on the show to promote the upcoming Hercules movie he is starring in, answered questions about a potential WWE return in a segment where fans got to ask him questions on Twitter.
"Possibly sure," Johnson said when asked by a fan if he'd return for one more match. "Possibly I'll just leave it out [there], leave it out."

Johnson was also asked if it was more challenging to play football at the University of Miami, compete in the WWE or to play the role of Hercules.
"Most challenging would have to be wrestling in the WWE," Johnson said. "Crazy schedule, unbelievable."
Johnson is one of the most popular WWE Superstars of all-time and reached the main event level in late 1998 and remained a headliner until his departure in 2004 to make movies full-time.
Johnson took a seven year hiatus from the company before returning at WrestleMania XXVII as the host and then he battled John Cena in back-to-back main events the following two years before opening this year's WrestleMania XXX alongside fellow legends Hulk Hogan and "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
There has been speculation that his movie schedule may command that he misses WrestleMania 31 next March, but he is open to having another match in the company.
Johnson also addressed James leaving the Heat after winning two championships with them, and re-signing with the Cavaliers on a two-year $42.2 million deal.
"I hate to see him leave like a lot of us in Miami, like most of us, by the way, in Miami," Johnson said. "The moment I stepped onto campus at the University of Miami to play football...I was 18-years-old and I haven't left...So Miami is home and being a proud son of Miami you hate to see greatness like that leave."
He added: "I've known LeBron for some time, he's a buddy of mine. And at the end of the day, I'm grateful that we had the opportunity to have him in our city and everything that he was able to do for the city. Galvanize the city, galvanize the team, lead the team to two championships and now we move on."
Johnson did admit that he was happy for James to be going back home.
"I am happy for him," Johnson said. "First of all it's a polarizing thing. Sports [are] polarizing...When someone like that leaves, it's polarizing, it gets under people's skin and there's a lot of emotions involved. But at the end of the day I don't blame the guy...It's not about money at this point it's about doing something special for him. And for him it's doing something special in Cleveland, a city that's his home."
Those who miss Johnson in the squared circle can catch him on the big screen as Hercules comes out on July 25.
