John Cena sheds light on his regrets over the WrestleMania matchup with The Rock
WWE announced The Rock vs John Cena for WrestleMania 28 a year in advance after Rock helped The Miz to retain the WWE Championship at WrestleMania 27. During his recent appearance on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast for the promotion of the ‘Fast X’ movie, Cena revealed there was tension between both superstars for nearly a year. “Yes it worked, yes we sold tickets and yes people loved it. People choose sides, it was a polarizing event We could’ve done it with everyone working together and playing nice and that was my fault,” said Cena.
“I took Dwayne’s comments as not genuine”
However, both wrestling superstars became friends again once Cena ventured into Hollywood. “I got selfish and me living WWE at that point and not having any concept of growth or someone else’s perspective, I took Dwayne’s comments as not genuine and my view was if you love something, be there every day. What a hypocrite I am because I still love WWE and I can’t go all the time and I just didn’t see that,” Cena said on the 'Happy Sad Confused’ podcast.
