Not everyone was impressed with John Cena's WWE heel turn , including his dad, John Cena Sr., who criticized Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's role in it (or lack thereof).
During an interview with UnSKripted, Cena's dad revealed why he was underwhelmed by the involvement of the “Final Boss” in the storyline. After Cena turned heel in March 2025, The Rock disappeared, and he has not been seen in WWE since.
“With The Rock, I have no idea what that whole thing was about,” Cena Sr. said. “The whole storyline was ‘I want your soul.' That [doesn't] mean I'm God, I wanna be the devil. It means I want your everything, and if you give me your everything, I will make you champion. Okay, now we have a storyline.” Expand Tweet
