John Cena reveals he and The Rock ‘hated each other’ before WrestleMania showdown

John Cena has revealed that his feud with The Rock prior to their WrestleMania 28 match was rooted in genuine animosity rather than scripted rivalry. The two wrestlers, who are now considered WWE legends, had a contentious relationship fueled by personal disagreements. Cena admitted that during their buildup, their promos often crossed into personal attacks, and he acknowledged that the hostility was real. The conflict stemmed from Cena's criticism of The Rock's decision to pursue a career in Hollywood while still promoting wrestling. The tension escalated to the point where they nearly came to blows backstage, and both acknowledge how close they came to physical confrontation. Despite Cena's public insistence that The Rock wouldn't win, he privately anticipated the outcome.
