The likes of WWE legend Dwayne Johnson and 16-time world champion John Cena are among those who showcased their acting prowess in Hollywood.

Having such a huge status as two of the top actors in Hollywood, it is obvious for the fans to draw comparisons between both bigwigs of the industry due to their familiar backgrounds. And considering the same, a brief comparison of all the highs and lows of both superstars would be intriguing to know. So, let’s dive straight into this contest.

Dwayne Johnson remains ahead of John Cena in the race for highest-grosser

Being one of the biggest stars in Hollywood, it won’t be new for The Rock to witness his movies bag a whopping million dollars.

And it seems John Cena is also paving a somewhat similar path. Both might have given various hits, but there would only be a single movie that could stand at the top of the mountain.

For The Rock, it was Furious 7 that grossed a gigantic figure of 1.5 billion dollars and was able to leave fans awestruck worldwide.

Some movies that made both bigwigs concerned

While the biggest grossers of various superstars make them feel proud of their work, some of their work is seemingly not appreciated by the fans. And the same goes for The Rock and John Cena. The former WWE rivals have also dropped big bombs at the box office. Speaking of Johnson, he would surely want to forget a 2006 movie named Southland Tales that barely collected $374,743 despite having a budget of $17 million. Whereas for Cena, a 2010 movie named Legendary could only bag a domestic figure of $200,393 since the movie was not released worldwide.

Also, according to IMDB, Dwayne Johnson has acted in 37 movies as a lead, and among those, Black Adam of 2022 was his latest. As far as Cena is concerned, he has an overall resume of 22 movies, and among those, the latest was Barbie, in which he played a cameo. Moreover, while Cena has a net worth of $60 million, Johnson stands way ahead with a net worth of $800 million.

Indeed, highs and lows are an integral part of their careers; however, both superstars have proven time and again why they are essentially one of the biggest names in the domains they have been part of.
