"IT'S OFFICIAL," The Rock captioned the video. "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'..," he continued. "THANK YOU #WWEUniverse! It's always an honor coming home and I wouldn't miss it for the world."
