Did The Rock and John Cena have a beef?
The Rock and John Cena have shared the WWE ring on two different occasions. The two men had two exceptional matches at WrestleMania 28 and WrestleMania 29.
While the two men have showcased their hatred for one another in terms of kayfabe and on WWE programming, fans have often questioned whether there are real-life issues between the two icons.
The WWE Universe has often asked the question, does The Rock and John Cena have a legitimate beef?
The answer to that - quite simply - is yes. The Rock and John Cena legitimately have animosity towards each other. In the past, neither has denied the same and have admitted to them having beef.
In a previous interview with Jimmy Kimmel, The Rock addressed the issue and said that looking back on it, The Great One said it was pretty much "real".
"In the world of wrestling, it's fictionalized, it's a TV show, but we had our rivalry. Now we can look back on it, it was so real."
In a later interview with Kimmel, John Cena also agreed that he and The Rock did have real-life issues with each other but admitted that the two Hollywood stars are now close friends.
