And, as you know, before becoming an actor, John Cena was one of the greatest wrestlers in WWE. Professional wrestling wouldn’t have been the same without him in the 2000s and 2010s.

For some time now, John Cena has transcended into other areas of entertainment, transitioning from wrestling to film and television, which has allowed him to grow as a professional and explore new careers. But it wasn’t always like that.

John Cena spoke on a podcast about his fight with The Rock

The actor and professional wrestler opened up about his feud with Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in WWE in 2012 and 2013.

Cena admitted that he didn’t understand what The Rock and other wrestlers, like Dave Bautista, were doing in the film industry. He saw the time they spent filming movies as time they weren’t in the wrestling ring.

“I became selfish, and me – living in WWE at that time and having no concept of growth or someone else’s perspective – took Dwayne’s comments about our business as unreal,” he explained on the Happy Sad Confused podcast.

Now, John Cena has been portraying The Peacemaker, a DC character who has made his way to both the big screen and television.

“My opinion was that if you love something, you should be there every day. How hypocritical I am, because I still love WWE, and I can’t be there all the time. And I just didn’t realize it,” he reflects on the show.

John Cena confesses that he should have resolved things privately. The two eventually reached an understanding, and their friendship is now “in a really good place.”
