Seth Rollins, the reigning WWE world heavyweight champion has been in the news for a while. The reason is not only him being the inaugural champion, but also because of his Hollywood project. Yes, the ‘Visionary is following in Dwayne Johnson and John Cena’s footsteps, and soon fans will see him on the big screen in a Marvel movie. 

Just as this news went viral, fans started bombarding him with a number of questions. And the top question was will he also become a part-time wrestler after carving his niche in Hollywood. Initially, Rollins was silent about this, but finally, he breaks the silence by giving a reference to the decade-old real-life rivalry between John Cena and The Rock.

Seth Rollins sided with Dwayne Johnson in his personal rivalry with John Cena

In his recent interview with the ‘Daily Mail UK’, Seth Rollins recalled the decade-old personal rivalry between John Cena and Dwayne Johnson. The rivalry was all about Cena criticizing Dwayne Johnson for spending less time in WWE after he joined the Hollywood industry.

The ‘Visionary’ said that John Cena was nearsighted in that case, he just saw The Rock returning after a year and snatching the opportunity from a wrestler who has been working hard for 365 days.

Siding with Dwayne Johnson, Seth Rollins said, “What you were seeing from John at the time, he was at the peak of his popularity in WWE at the time and it was seeing The Rock come back every year. So, The Rock wasn’t just gone for a hiccup, he was gone for a year and then coming back and taking away an opportunity from someone else who had been there and grinding and all that.”

Later, he mentioned that what Cena didn’t see was how much audience did The Rock bring to the arena with his one appearance and that’s what John Cena is doing now.

“What John didn’t see was the bigger picture and how many more eyes The Rock was going to bring to WWE, to WrestleMania, and to the talent as a whole. John missed that part, and he will tell you now that he was a little nearsighted in that regard,” Rollins continued.
