The Rock shares his thoughts on John Cena‘s heel turn and reveals what he said to him after WWE Elimination Chamber.
At the WWE Elimination Chamber Post-Show, The Rock discussed Cena’s heel turn. He then shared that Cena flew in on Saturday morning, and he was flying back out on Saturday night due to his filming obligations. The Rock also recalled what he said to Cena as he left.
“What you felt tonight, he didn’t say a word, look, he came out and dropped the mic, that’s decades of a man who gave everything to this business that I love, and now, it’s coming out,” he said. “I told him as he left, by the way, he flew in today, this morning, from Budapest.
“He’s flying out right now to Africa to continue. So that’s the level of commitment. I told him as he left, I said, we say two things in our wrestling vernacular, he said, ‘Hey, thank you for the house,’ and I said, ‘I’m proud of you” It’s a big deal.”
The Rock: John Cena’s Heel Turn Was Ballsy
The Rock went on to note that he was excited to see Cena perform this character, as he had never done it before. He said that it was ballsy to take a risk like this, and he was excited to see it.
“I think the thing I’m excited about is watching John perform this,” he said. “If you think about it, John Cena has been our Babe Ruth, he’s been our Superman. He’s the guy you never, ever, thought would turn in this way, and he did. It’s a big risk, and it’s ballsy to do something like that, and it’s gutsy. He’s put a lot into this, so I’m just really excited to see him, just performatively, what this version of John looks like.”
