John Cena appeared on last night’s edition of Talking Smack and backtracked on comments he made about The Rock a few years ago. During their exchanges to promote their back-to-back WrestleMania matches, Cena often knocked The Rock for being a “part-timer.” Now that Cena is branching out into non-WWE projects, he’s changing his tune.
After JBL brought up the “part-timer” comments and asked if Cena sees himself in a similar role, Cena called those comments some of the “stupidest stuff” he’s ever said and blamed it on looking at Rock’s situation through “very blinded eyes.” Cena explains how he really wanted The Rock to come back to WWE and figured hitting him where it hurts would work. Cena admits Rock was right and he was wrong, adding that he’s apologized to The Rock in person.
Cena went on to praise Rock for being the highest paid actor in Hollywood and for transcending WWE. Cena sees it as a plus for the whole company when guys can give as much as Rock did to WWE but then actually transcend WWE.
Below is video from the segment:
