Johnson spoke with Muscle and Fitness and was asked about whether or not he wants to return to the WWE again for another match.
"Yeah, I'd love to," Johnson said. "We just have to figure out what it could be and what the most ideal matchup would be, and who it would be with. Because I always feel like if I go back to the WWE, then it has to be bigger and greater than what I've done in the past, and I don't know what could be bigger in terms of marquee value in terms of value across the board and to me it has to surpass what we've done."

Johnson was also asked about his time feuding with Cena, with whom he main evented with during WrestleManias XXVIII and XXIX. While things seemed heated between the two, Johnson said there is a mutual respect between them now.
"We're good buddies these days," he said. "We're good buddies these days...With John, by the way, we went into that two-year feud agreeing that things are edgy between us and things are salty, and let's carry that into the arena...It was very real. When I came back, I needed something real to sink my teeth into, as a performer."
Johnson said there was some hostility between the two because Cena had said in a past interview that it seemed like Johnson only cared about acting and not about wrestling.
"John had said some things in an interview that I took exception [to]," he said. "He felt they were okay, I felt that they weren't okay. I also laughed it off years ago but it wasn't until I came back and realized that the marquee matchup was going to be between he and I that I would take that edge that we had-and let's use it. So, we don't have to hang out, we don't have to be best friends, we won't be friends at all."
Lastly, Johnson said he now respects Cena for all the work he has put in during his run in the WWE as the face of the company.
"Fans felt uncomfortable, but I was very happy with how it all went down and what we were able to achieve together," he said. "Now looking back, I have nothing but respect for John. He is an animal, in terms of his discipline, in terms of his focus, and I always tell people: You know you're looking at John, you're looking at a guy who's been doing it for over a decade, consistently. No one out there trains harder and more consistent and really understands the value of training and diet. Not only that, but then you move in an exhausting, grueling schedule, like a lot of the WWE Superstars, I have nothing but respect."
