Given The Rock's Hollywood superstardom, it's no surprise that he only wants to return to WWE if he is involved in a compelling storyline.
The eight-time WWE Champion has repeatedly stated in recent years that he is prepared to compete in one more match. He even said on his YouTube channel in 2020 that he would happily lose against his real-life cousin, current Universal Champion Roman Reigns.
Speaking to ComicBook.com, the 49-year-old stressed the importance of the storyline making sense if he returns to the ring.

“I don't know if I have another title run, considering I'm the People's Champion, but I don't know if it's another title run. I think possibly, you know, there might be another match down the road. It would have to make sense,” The Rock said.

The Rock has not competed in a WWE match since WrestleMania 32 in 2016, where he defeated Erick Rowan in six seconds.
Prior to that, his last advertised match ended in defeat against John Cena in the main event of WrestleMania 29 in 2013. The match is best remembered for The Great One suffering a pelvis injury in the early stages of the 24-minute encounter.
