Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson announced his return to the ring on Twitter Monday as fans speculated whether or not the former WWE Champion would show at the Staples Center.

“There's no greater title than #thepeopleschamp. And there's no place like home. Tequila on me after the show,“ wrote the former champ.
