John Cena On Possibly Facing The Rock One More Time: That Would Be Cool

John Cena addresses possibly facing The Rock one more time.

The Rock and John Cena have a storied history, with the pair facing off in two singles bouts at WrestleMania 28 and 29 respectively. The pair are 1-1, and with Cena winding down his career, it seems that their series will remain all tied up, despite Cena being open to the match.

While speaking at a recent Denver Fan Expo, Cena was asked about potentially facing off with The Rock one final time before he retires.

“Gosh, fantasy booking. For those who are not inside baseball, fantasy booking is when you take an idea in your head and you’re like, man, it would be cool if… That’s what I’m hearing here. Man, it would be cool if John Cena could fight The Rock one more time. That, to me, that would be cool. I’ve survived and kept a level head over 25 years in the WWE by not setting expectations, by showing up every single day, doing what I’m told and asked to do it to the best of my ability. Where I ask for freedom, where I ask for creative expression is not in the selection of my opponent. It is in the process of how we put forth the work to you guys. That way I can be accountable for all my failures. You guys say I buried the Nexus. I got to shoulder that cross forever because that’s me. But there are some wins along the way. There are some people that’s like, man, you’re doing your best work now, and it seems like you’re in a different place and all that. And I can live that triumph as well. I don’t like to choose opponents because a lot of times that doesn’t work out. What I like to do is get a plan and say, ‘hey, well, can I, as the artist, can I be creative with the plan?’ I’ve earned enough trust that they’ll they’ll let me do some stupid stuff, and I appreciate it.”

Earlier this year at WWE Elimination Chamber, Cena turned heel, aligning himself with The Rock and attacking Cody Rhodes.

Cena has previously listed The Rock as one of his favorite feuds in the past. You can read more about that here.
