Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson & John Cena’s Secret Dealings With Vince McMahon Revealed Amid Rumors of New Rival Company

Since his scandal broke, the WWE has maintained its distance from Vince McMahon. Not only do we never hear about him, but the WWE has ensured none of its wrestlers ever mention him directly. However, it seems like bigger stars like Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and John Cena are still in contact with their former boss.

Triple H took over the WWE and even ushered in a new era with stars like Cody Rhodes at the forefront. It is clear that the WWE would like to forget everything that was done under Mr. McMahon. Here is everything you need to know about Mr. McMahon since his departure from the company.

Dwayne Johnson, John Cena, and Donald Trump are still in contact with Vince McMahon

While under federal investigation, McMahon stepped down as the boss of the WWE. The lengths of his involvement in his scandal-tainted the reputation of the once beloved wrestling mogul. However, he seems unfazed by what has happened and continues living normally. According to a report by NBC News, WWE’s former head is traveling, having lavish dinners, and keeping in touch with former associates and employees. Among them, the names of The Rock, Cena, and former US President Trump have emerged.

Trump and McMahon go way back as the former US president hosted two WrestleMania events in the 1980s and feuded with McMahon in the 2000s. He’s also been in touch with the People’s Champion, who has publicly thanked TKO and WWE executives for his addition to the Board of Directors. Cena was quoted on the Howard Stern Show saying, “The whole thing is super unfortunate and it sucks.” Neither of the two stars has openly said anything negative about their former boss, and now you know why. But why exactly does a Hollywood megastar with a family-friendly image like Dwayne Johnson still talk to his shunned former boss?

But why does The Rock still keep in touch with McMahon?

Now, the question arises: why does Johnson keep in touch with McMahon? In his own words, Vince McMahon decided to give him another run in the WWE after his initial babyface run crashed and burned. After debuting as a babyface, Johnson faced negative fan reactions where the now famous “Die Rocky Die” chants originated. The then WWE head honcho asked The Rock to turn heel and join the Nation of Domination. This move would give fans The Rock, now a beloved character in the WWE lore. Had McMahon not done so, Johnson would not have had a career in pro wrestling.

In a way, Vince McMahon has played a direct role in propelling Dwayne Johnson to superstardom in his professional career. So it is understandable why the WWE star and former WWE president keep in touch with each other, considering the bond that they have forged over the years. Despite being erased from the annals of WWE history, Vince McMahon is gearing up for a new challenge according to reports. Reports have suggested that the former WWE president could look to launch a new wrestling promotion after his one-year non-compete clause ends in January 2025. Wrestling fans will have to wait and see how that develops. Despite his strong relationship with Cena and Johnson, the chances of them embracing this would remain low.
