John Cena Explains Why He Apologized To The Rock Over Their Past WWE Rivalry

John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson have had a long history together.

“The Greatest Of All-Time” appeared on WWE’s The Bump on Wednesday for a interview promoting WWE Fastlane 2023 this coming Saturday night.

During the episode, Cena spoke about his recent backstage segment with The Rock on WWE TV, and how they have had issues in the past that Cena has apologized for.

“In between the times we’ve spent with one another, I’ve openly come to a realization that the first foray into us competing against each other probably was a professional mistake on my part,” he said. “I’ve been very apologetic and open with my apology, the way I conducted business was in the realm of trying to do good business.”

Cena continued, “We did great business, and it was really nice to see a friend. He’s actually very generous with his time, we actually conversed a little bit. That was the first time we’ve seen each other since publicly apologizing for that and I just want to make sure he heard it from me face to face as well. It was really nice to see a friend.”
