John Cena is starring in Bumblebee, which arrives in theaters on December 21. The 16-time World champion is making the transition to Hollywood from WWE and many pro wrestling fans have followed his work along the way.
Cena recently talked about his new career and more specifically, his past with The Rock. As WWE fans know, Cena once called out The Rock over leaving WWE for Hollywood. But now it seems that John’s acting career has made him rethink his past opinions.
“I selfishly and in a very tunnel vision feud I would say, or grievance with Dwayne, tried to do whatever I could to harken him back to the WWE. Thank goodness he listened because we had some of the greatest entertainment that we’ve ever had on the program because of it. But from a genuine standpoint, if you’re taking it for more than entertainment, I’m sorry. I was wrong and I spoke out of ignorance.”
But what brought about Cena’s new outlook on this issue?

“When you do a movie, you are not allowed to do anything else. Because if I go and do Monday Night Raw and Seth Rollins puts my nose over here, That messes up the movie. And not just like ‘well, you messed up the movie.’ People don’t understand there’s 150 people on a movie set who are financially dependent on that movie getting done on time.That movie moving costs everybody money and sets the movie up to fail, which means we don’t get to do another movie, which means these people don’t get to make money. It’s their livelihood. So you wanna take a deep dive into stuff like that, I spoke from ignorance. I wasn’t in the movie making business.
I was in the WWE business. And I’m like man, you love this, why aren’t you here? Oh you’re not here because you go from one movie immediately to another, immediately to another because you’re so successful and you’re doing well in this venture. And in doing so, you’re paving the way for people like me to be successful in this venture. I owe a lot of what I’ve done in WWE and in cinema to Dwayne Johnson. He’s always been genuine, he’s always shot straight and that’s on TV and off TV. We have a very good rapport with each other and I’ve told this to him that I’m sorry.”
Cena is retuning to WWE in December for a run of house shows. His next appearance on TV has yet to be announced.
