There is no news of The Great One returning to the company. The fans want him to come back, and probably he wants to return too, but he cannot return with a long-term commitment.

He has to continue working on his Hollywood projects, along with managing his entrepreneurial ventures. Therefore, even if he returns, it would potentially be for one major PPV such as WrestleMania or SummerSlam.

Now, initially everyone believed the best person against whom The Abraham Bull can return is Roman Reigns. However, John Cena confirmed his WWE return, and reports confirmed the date of the return.

With Cena returning, WWE can bring back The Rock against John Cena. It could turn a title match between Roman Reigns and John Cena into a triple threat match involving The Great One. This match will bring in audience, revenue, publicity, reach, and everything else WWE aspires to achieve via PPVs.
