John Cena Comments On His Relationship With The Rock And Their Recent SmackDown Reunion

Once massive rivals, the September 15 episode of WWE Friday Night SmackDown saw the returns of The Rock and John Cena in different segments. Cena and The Rock would meet face to face backstage on friendly terms.

When pressed about the matter on WWE’s YouTube program, The Bump, Cena had this to say:

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. 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. 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.

The Rock and John Cena’s historic rivalry occurred during WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 29, twice in a lifetime. During the first WM bout, The Great One prevailed, while in the second, John Cena reclaimed his glory.
