John Cena admits he made a mistake by taking shots at The Rock for leaving WWE for Hollywood.
During the post-WWE Fastlane 2023 media scrum, Cena opined on his past personal issues with the Great One and why he understands those who criticize him now for doing the same thing. He said,
“I 100% see and understand that perspective. If you’ve been following what I’ve tried to do, especially as of late, publicly and personally to Dwayne Johnson, I’ve stated that although I thought I was trying to do what’s best for business, I went about it the wrong way. I violated his trust and I made allegations about his perspective that I knew nothing about.”
He continued, “And deep down, I was a fan. I wanted The Rock back. I wanted to do anything to get The Rock back, but I did it the wrong way. I didn’t do it the respectful way, so I had to eat a little bit of crow. I had to say ‘I’m sorry and I was wrong,’ because I am sorry and I was wrong, and that’s a very humbling experience. We all have our own struggles. We all live our own lives. It was a great learning experience for my mistake with that feud with The Rock.”
