The Rock details when he knew it was time to return to WWE

The Rock made his return to WWE programming earlier this year, and his return also coincided with him being added to TKO's board of directors. Since then, The Rock has been a near full-time presence on TV, as he's been injected into "The Bloodline" storyline featuring Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes.

On Saturday, The Rock teamed up with Reigns to face Rhodes and Seth Rollins in the main event of the first night of WrestleMania. Following the impressive match, which ended in victory for "The Great One," he discussed how he knew the time was right for him to return to the company during his news conference. 

"When Ari Emanuel called and said, 'I'm going to buy the company,'" The Rock said. h/t to Fightful for the transcription. "...My number one priority was, can I comeback and have real value this time around and not coming back for hot shots or one night. It's fun, it's fun for the fans, but I wanted something a lot more substantial, but something we could really build upon. These past two or three months, we've been laying ground work nicely and not only building for WrestleMania this weekend, but I think beyond that and the future."
