Legendary wrestler and famous Hollywood actor, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson has shocked everyone after he announced via Instagram that he will be appearing at the 32nd edition of the WWE Championship, Wrestlemania 32.
The Rock announced it on the social networking site yesterday in a post featuring a video of him in the ring with the caption,
“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 #SmackethLaidDownOnThyCandyAsses”
Although it is not clear if he will be fighting in the match, it is important to note that The Rock has appeared in each of the last two Wrestlemania championships mainly in a non-fighting capacity after losing his title to John Cena in Wrestlemania 29.
The actor/wrestler who recently welcomed a newborn baby girl, Jasmine a few weeks ago, has previously spoken openly about combining wrestling with his new career as an actor.
The Rock had noted that he was not willing to give up acting any time soon but neither was he interested in letting wrestling go either as his career had begun in the ring.
