Rock on! John Cena hopes Dwayne Johnson makes WWE return

John Cena would love to see Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson return to the WWE.

The 44-year-old star has followed in Dwayne’s footsteps by making a successful transition from the wrestling business into the movie industry, but he’d still love to see Dwayne make a return to the ring one day.

He said:

“He is the most electrifying man in sports entertainment. So as a fan, do I want to see one of the greatest performers of all time step back in the WWE ring? Yeah.

“But in no way am I gonna call him and if I’m gonna talk to him about something, it’s not gonna try to be to get him back in the WWE ring. He needs to come to that conclusion by himself. Because then, his performance will be, The Rock, he’ll be the best he can be.

“So I do hope he comes back, as a fan, and I hope it’s wonderful, and if he chooses not to, he’s earned the right to choose not to.”

John – who achieved worldwide fame through his own wrestling exploits – is currently promoting his new movie, Vacation Friends.

And the wrestler-turned-actor has revealed that he loved shooting the buddy comedy film – which also stars the likes of Meredith Hagner, Lil Rel Howery and Yvonne Orji – in Puerto Rico before the coronavirus pandemic hit in 2020.

He told Entertainment Tonight:

“I like to have my fun. Meredith also likes to have her fun. Like Rel, I think all of us. And I think that’s what made our time in Puerto Rico so special.

“So we filmed all the party stuff in Puerto Rico, and we filmed up to the last day of right before the world locked itself down, like the last day, but we didn’t know it was going to happen.”

“We had heard about something, and Puerto Rico was really secluded and not affected yet, so we were having a blast.”
