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.
Not only this, but Seth Rollins also talked about his future in the professional wrestling industry after debuting in MCU.
