The Rock vs. John Cena was not a one-time event

WrestleMania 28 was a huge success because of the names involved. Moreover, the company marketed the event as the only battlefield between John Cena and The Rock.

As we all know, The Rock won after a grueling battle. Consequently, Cena’s defeat would become an enormous factor for how the next WrestleMania would take shape.

WWE went back on its one-time event claim and booked John Cena vs. The Rock at WrestleMania 29 as well. At this event, Cena took down The Great One.

Currently, both the Superstars are inactive. There are talks of bringing John Cena and The Rock back to the company, but neither of them has confirmed a date.

It’s possible John Cena will return first, followed by The Rock. In fact, the Leader of the Cenation has already confirmed his return, and a potential date has been revealed as well.

WWE hasn’t confirmed whom Cena is returning against. However, there are rumors the company is trying to bring Cena vs. Roman Reigns to the audience at SummerSlam 2021.
