John Cena: Rock Confronting Roman Reigns Was The Most Disliked Segment, How Many Refunds Did You See?

John Cena talks The Rock’s heel turn.

The Rock’s current run in WWE got off to a rough start, as fans were vocal about not wanting to see him face Roman Reigns at WrestleMania 40. Since then, the company has pivoted, and Rock and Roman are now set to team up at ‘The Show Of Shows’ against the duo of Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins. 

While speaking to Chris Van Vliet for a new interview, John Cena talked about Rock’s heel turn, saying that he wants to see the end result of the story.

“I don’t know what to think of it yet. I liked what he did back when he was Hollywood Rock. I’d have to see the end result, and I love being surprised and I also love saying I’m wrong. I’ve been wrong about a whole lot of stuff. When I say I’m wrong, that means I’m about to learn something I’m not going to forget. I think Dwayne Johnson is such an attraction. The Rock is such an attraction. I don’t think our audience is angry with him. I think there is an underlying sense of fulfillment that they are angry that they expectations were changed. The metric I use, from my own path of polarization…they did a segment that was heavily disliked. The most disliked segment in WWE social history. How many WrestleMania ticket refunds did you see? Zero. The metric to look at for me is, how many people don’t want to see the show?”

Elsewhere in the interview, Cena talked about how he was supposed to turn heel over a decade ago. Fans can learn more here.
