Recalling their iconic showdowns leading up to WrestleMania, Cena candidly admitted to missteps in his approach towards The Rock:
“To me, it was more like I’m gonna jab this guy because I’ve nothing to lose, I’ve all the leverage. I’m there every day, and I love being there every day, and nothing is really pulling me away from being there. I guess my angle came from the fact that he was openly saying I love the WWE. And, I’m like, ‘Man if you love it, why aren’t you here?'”
Reflecting further, Cena expressed regret over his perspective and acknowledged the significance of The Rock’s commitments beyond WWE:
“It was my ignorant perspective, and I’m so sorry because he had a lot to lose. Here he’s putting his word on the line, saying, I had to leave this thing, I love it, it’s ingrained in my family, I f*****g love this, but I’m just doing other s**t now. And, now I’ve to eat a bunch of s**t and say like, ‘f**k, I was wrong, and I’m sorry.'”
Currently, The Rock has returned to WWE programming, aligning himself with The Bloodline faction in a significant development for wrestling fans.
