WWE News: John Cena on acting with The Rock, taunts The Undertaker
What’s the story?
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, John Cena opened up on a myriad of topics.
Most prominently, Cena addressed the possibility of working alongside The Rock in the latter’s Fast and the Furious movie franchise. Besides, Cena also took to social media so as to taunt his rumored WrestleMania 34 opponent, The Undertaker.
In case you didn’t know…
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was considered to be the WWE’s top star through the Attitude Era and a brief, early part of the Ruthless Aggression Era.
Rocky gradually transitioned to a full-time career in Hollywood and has been reigning as its biggest star for quite some time now.
Similarly, John Cena—who was considered to be the face of WWE from the early-2000s up until Roman Reigns took over the role a few years back—is also presently pursuing a career in Hollywood.
The heart of the matter
John Cena was probed as to whether he could join The Rock in the latter’s hugely successful Fast and the Furious movie franchise, in response to which Cena stated—
"That stuff is beyond my control, but I would absolutely love that opportunity…That, for me, would be a dream. I'm never really like, 'Oh, I'd like to work with this person,' but I just think between our chemistry in the live performance setting, there's something certainly there with The Rock. So that would be my one name on the wish list."
Furthermore, Cena took to his official Twitter account, and emphasized that although he’s ready to face The Undertaker on tonight’s episode of RAW, he’d happily attend WrestleMania 34 as the strongest fan if The Undertaker doesn’t accept his challenge—
What’s next?
The vast majority of professional wrestling experts believe that The Undertaker is set to answer John Cena’s WrestleMania 34 challenge on tonight’s go-home edition of RAW.
The Undertaker vs John Cena is expected to serve as a marquee matchup at WrestleMania 34 which takes place at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans, Louisiana on April 8th.
Also on the ‘Mania card, The Rock is rumored to be appearing in a musical segment alongside Elias.
Author’s take
Honestly speaking, John Cena is indeed an excellent actor, and could very well enter the Fast and the Furious franchise to join The Rock.
Meanwhile, the buildup to Cena’s feud with The Undertaker, as bizarre as it may be, has served to pique the interest of fans into this strange rivalry that seemingly popped up out of nowhere.
