Days After His Heavenly Birthday, Arch-Rival John Cena Pays Tribute to Dwayne Johnson’s Dad Rocky Johnson

John Cena has made a number of enemies during his WWE run. However, there is none quite like Dwayne Johnson. Cena and The Rock have faced each other in high-profile bouts a number of times and have even roasted each other in kayfabe. However, Cena recently put aside the bitter rivalry between them to honor Johnson’s father on his birthday.

As Rocky Johnson‘s birth anniversary recently passed by, The Prototype realized he should make a little gesture in honor of the legendary wrestler. So, Cena took to his Instagram to pay tribute to his arch-rival’s late father.

John Cena puts aside heat with Dwayne Johnson to honor his father

All WWE fans are aware of the heated past rivalry that Johnson and Cena have had. Although their last title bout together made them end things on a positive note, we can’t deny that they are each other’s arch-rivals. But now, Cena took an unexpected step of affection by wishing The Brahma Bull’s late father on his birthday.

Legendary wrestler Rocky Johnson’s birth anniversary passed by a couple of weeks ago. Even though Cena was unable to post a tribute on the 24th of August, a few hours ago, he took to his Instagram to do the honors. The WWE legend uploaded a picture of DJ’s father in the middle of a wrestling match.

Much like the majority of his posts, Cena didn’t upload a caption to give context to this image, but since Rocky’s birthday just went past, we can assume that the intent must have been a subtle tribute.

Meanwhile, Johnson had his own tribute to his father set out. The Rock, who clearly looked up to his father to the point where he followed in his footsteps, had a heartfelt message for him.

Johnson opened up by saying how the day before was tough for him. However, he was still able to find the silver lining. He implied that his father’s ability to always look on the bright side was passed on to him, and he was keen on following his father’s way.

The 51-year-old WWE legend still remembers his father’s way and the lessons he taught him during his lifetime. He also shared a hint of his father’s wisdom with the rest of his fans by quoting him. And at last, Johnson closed by saying, “I love you, Happy heavenly birthday and I’ll see you down the road, Soulman.”

Although John Cena isn’t able to join The Rock on the days he misses his old man, the tribute is a good way to pay his respects.
