John Cena Sounds Off on The Rock
2025 marked the beginning of John Cena's farewell tour. Cena, a sixteen-time WWE Champion, has had feuds with several Hall of Famers. But his most noted beef was with fellow Hollywood star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson.
Things got particularly heated between the two when Cena called out The Rock for leaving the WWE to pursue a career as a movie star. He also questioned how much he loved the company. It is a decision he has come to regret now.
"Oh my god, yeah. To me, it was [like], 'I'm going to jab this guy because I have nothing to lose. I have all the leverage... My angle came from the fact that he was openly saying, 'I love the WWE.' And I was like, 'Man if you love it, why aren't you here?' What a stupid thing [of me] to say. I'm so sorry because he had a lot to lose," Cena said
"And now I have to eat a bunch of shit and say, 'F—k, I was wrong, I'm sorry.'"
