While his best days in the ring may be behind him, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson, is still one of the biggest stars that wrestling has known. With that in mind, it makes perfect sense that his return to the ring has instantly made Wrestlemania 32 must see TV.
In an Instagram video showing his highlights from past Wrestlemanias, Johnson wrote:
IT’S OFFICIAL: People’s Champ is coming home to do 3 things with THE PEOPLE: Set an ALL-TIME attendance record, ELECTRIFY Dallas like never before & make all time #WRESTLEMANIA history. And we have FUN. Ok that’s four things but you know what the hell The Rock’s sayin’.. ?. THANK YOU #WWEUniverse! It’s always an honor coming home and I wouldn’t miss it for the world.#PeoplesChamp4L#MakingElectrifyingHistory

It still remains to be seen whether he will actually fight or simply be in the line-up. Johnson has appeared at past Wrestlemanias in non-fighting roles; he has appeared beside the likes of Hulk Hogan and Ronda Rousey. His last fight at the event took place in 2013 against John Cena.
Based on his other Instagram post of “the beefs” (his legs), though, Johnson is definately in fighting shape.
