John Cena Reveals Why He Apologized to Dwayne Johnson’s Mother in 2012: “I’m Sorry…That Was Not My Intention”

John Cena and Dwayne Johnson were two of the most entertaining figures in the pro wrestling industry. Both stars created legacies of their own that very few can match. They came, they conquered, and they are still there in the hearts of the millions who badly hope for their return inside the squared circle.

The two notable wrestler-turned-actors are on good terms, but it didn’t come without some real-life problems during their time together on the roster from 2011 to 2013. However, their issues invaded the personal sphere, violating the professional boundary in some cases. They were engaged in an entertaining storyline but nothing stirred more heat than Cena calling out The Rock’s promo antics on live TV.

The two often crossed the lines during their encounters and launched personal attacks on each other. In the lead-up to WrestleMania XVIII, they traded insults and jabs with Cean blurring the lines between kayfabe and reality during a promo on RAW.

John Cena mend his feud with The Rock through a sincere apology to his mother

According to the plan, Cena began his segment, but later he broke the script and brutally attacked Johnson by calling him out for writing promos on his wrist.

The particular promo initiated some real-life heat between them, however, it was sorted out later. To melt the ice, Cena chose to make a sincere apology to The Rock and his mother. During a recent interview with Notsam Wrestling, the 16-time WWE World Champion recalled that feud and how it mended with his genuine efforts.

The 46-year-old noted, ” The moment the ice began to melt was right after when the first thing I did was want to apologize to his mom. I said of being in the business I hope now you can understand I just wanted to sell tickets, and I am sorry if I made you feel a certain way that was not my intention.”

‘She gave me a great hug and told me thank you and the next day I went and told the exact same thing to Dwayne and he couldn’t have been more gracious.!” Cena added explaining DJ’s mother’s reaction.

However, the Peacemaker star admitted his other guilt over his words of criticism regarding The Rock.

John Cena termed himself a hypocrite for his attack on The Rock

During a recent interview with Happy Sad Confused, the wrestler-turned-actor corrected his statement about DJ’s view of the business. The Cenation leader used to blame The Rock for his half-hearted dedication to the business after jumping ship to Hollywood. But years later, when he looked back at his own point of view, it seemed imprudent.

Being a current popular face in Hollywood, the Fast X star realized that someone’s other endeavors in life don’t lessen their love for pro wrestling. Cena even termed himself ‘selfish’ and a ‘hypocrite’ for his previous stance on The Rock.

However, given that their feud is now at rest, it isn’t absurd for fans to hope to see the duo sharing screen in the next installment of the Fast and Furious franchise.
