John Cena opens up about his rough period with Dwayne Johnson in 2012
John Cena has recently revealed he got "selfish" amid public feud with Dwayne Johnson on the latest episode of Happy Sad Confused podcast.
“I got selfish and me – living WWE at the point and not having any concept of growth or someone else’s perspective – I took Dwayne’s comments as not genuine,” said the 46-year-old.
John and Dwayne had been rivals over the years while working as
pro-wrestlers. However, they both stayed friends behind the scenes.
Cena
recalled a rough patch came in 2012 after Dwayne made public comments about
the professional wrestling business. He slammed Dwayne in the public which
did not go well with him.
Reflecting on his public feud, Cena
stated, “I just got selfish and wanted a main event marquee match because it
would better what I thought was the business. That was short-sighted and
selfish. It worked!”
“But it worked at the cost of two people who communicated and
almost put it in jeopardy. There was a moment where there was a lot of bad
vibes between us and rightfully so,” explained the Peacemaker actor.
Cena
added that they have patched up and now their friendship “is in a really
good place”.
