I wanted The Rock back [in WWE]. I wanted to do anything to get The Rock back, but I did it the wrong way.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Cena fully admitted where he went wrong with Johnson, adding that he&#8217;s since apologized and learned from his mistakes by feuding with the <em>Fast X<\/em> actor.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t do it the respectful way, so I had to eat a little bit of crow. I had to say &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry and I was wrong,&#8217; because I am sorry and I was wrong, and that\u2019s a very humbling experience. Dwayne is a hell of a guy&#8230;,&#8221; Cena added. &#8220;I became who I despised. I see that perspective and I understand it. It was a great learning experience from my mistake with feuding with The Rock.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Spending more time on set that on the mat these days, Cena also addressed returning to wrestling amid the Hollywood strikes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/71\/5by4\/2023\/10\/09\/71416aa9ab64475684ae4495b9016e5c_xs.jpg\" width=\"300\" height=\"240\" class=\"img-fluid article-block__img-fluid\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>            Dwayne Johnson Addresses Maui Wildfire Fund Backlash          <\/h4>\n<p>&#8220;I made it perfectly clear you can&#8217;t do both because of the liability insurance. If I were trying to juggle both that&#8217;s very selfish because I&#8217;d put a whole lot of people in the movie business out of work if something happened to me,&#8221; he explained.<\/p>\n<p>Cena continued, &#8220;I stopped a project in the middle of [the strike], and I can&#8217;t talk about it because of the strike we&#8217;re in. We&#8217;re in the middle of it. As soon as we get back to work, we go back to work. I don&#8217;t control any of that.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>While he&#8217;s likely to resume filming once the strikes subside, OG fans of the wrestler get the chance to see him in the ring once more, with Cena back for a brief story arc.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m crossing my fingers and hoping we can find a resolve that everyone is happy with,&#8221; he added. For right now, I think this is the best way I can help&#8230; by coming home to my family.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/images.toofab.com\/image\/cf\/4by3\/2023\/10\/09\/cf3f6b768694499aaf3b775a1cb42fda_md.jpg\" width=\"825\" height=\"618\" class=\"img-fluid gallery-block__img-fluid img-aspect-auto\" \/><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/toofab.com\/2023\/10\/09\/john-cena-opens-up-about-his-feud-with-dwayne-johnson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>John Cena and Dwayne Johnson&#039;s feud started back in 2011 when Cena criticized the wrestler-turned-actor for moving away from the ring to pursue a career on the big screen.
