Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena recently talked about his wrestling and Hollywood peer, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. The 17-time World Champion put The Great One among other legendary names in a huge debate.
Fans are witnessing John Cena’s heel turn in 2025 after over 20 years, thanks to The Rock. For those unaware, Cena sold his ‘soul’ to The Brahma Bull at Elimination Chamber 2025. Many expected the two stars to show up on WWE TV together after joining forces at the Chamber. However, that did not happen as The People’s Champion never returned to the Stamford-based promotion’s weekly programming. Amid his absence, several stars have mentioned Rocky’s name in promos, but John never did.
During his recent appearance alongside his Heads of State co-star Idris Elba on Complex, John Cena was asked to name the greatest “trash talker” of all time in WWE.
Cena finally broke his silence on The Rock, mentioning the latter’s name alongside some other legendary stars, including Stone Cold Steve Austin and CM Punk.
“That’s a tough one. Some pioneers. Again, Roddy Piper comes in play. You can’t ignore Dwayne The Rock Johnson, or Stone Cold Steve Austin, [or] CM Punk,” Cena said. [2:30 – 2:39]
However, the 17-time World Champion’s co-star believed the accolade should go to either The Rock or John Cena himself. After hearing this, The Chain Gang Soldier thanked Idris Elba for putting him in the same conversation as The Brahma Bull.
“I think it’s between you and DJ [Dwayne Johnson]. [Cena- Oooooh, nice company. Anytime I can be in that conversation, thank you], they conversed. [2:41 – 2:47]

WWE analyst pitched a scenario for a future John Cena vs. Seth Rollins match
During a recent edition of the Notsam Wrestling podcast, WWE analyst Sam Roberts pitched a scenario in which Roman Reigns could return at SummerSlam 2025 to confront John Cena for a match at Clash in Paris.
Roberts added that Seth Rollins could get involved in their match and cash in the Money in the Bank briefcase to win the Undisputed WWE Championship. This could set up a bout between The Cenation Leader and The Visionary in the future.
“What if we do Roman [Reigns] returns at SummerSlam and confronts John Cena? We go to Clash in Paris, where it’s Roman versus Cena. Seth hits the Heist of the Century. It’s the second time in a row he’s done it to Roman Reigns. Now, we get John Cena versus Seth moving forward, and we can hold off on Roman versus Seth at WrestleMania,” Roberts said.
It will be interesting to see if John Cena will retain his title in a rematch against Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025.
