John Cena Comments On Potentially Having One Final Match With The Rock
WWE Undisputed Champion John Cena says facing The Rock again is a fun idea fans enjoy, but not something he actively pursues. Cena and The Rock have one win each in their legendary rivalry. The Rock beat Cena at WrestleMania 28, but Cena got his revenge the following year at WrestleMania 29. As Cena continues his retirement tour, fans have already seen him take on longtime rivals like Randy Orton and CM Punk one last time. During a recent panel at FAN EXPO Denver, Cena addressed the possibility of a third match against The Rock. He explained that he doesn't usually choose his opponents and prefers to focus on telling strong stories in the ring. 'Gosh, fantasy booking. For those who are not inside baseball, fantasy booking is when you take an idea in your head and you're like, man, it would be cool if… That's what I'm hearing here. Man, it would be cool if John Cena could fight The Rock one more time. That, to me, that would be cool. I've survived and kept a level head over 25 years in the WWE by not setting expectations, by showing up every single day, doing what I'm told and asked to do it to the best of my ability.' Cena said he takes full responsibility for both his successes and failures, referencing past moments fans have criticized. 'Where I ask for freedom, where I ask for creative expression is not in the selection of my opponent. It is in the process of how we put forth the work to you guys. That way I can be accountable for all my failures. You guys say I buried the Nexus. I got to shoulder that cross forever because that's me. But there are some wins along the way.' 'There are some people that's like, man, you're doing your best work now, and it seems like you're in a different place and all that. And I can live that triumph as well.' Cena made it clear that while he doesn't push for specific matches, he values the freedom WWE gives him. 'I don't like to choose opponents because a lot of times that doesn't work out. What I like to do is get a plan and say, 'hey, well, can I, as the artist, can I be creative with the plan?' I've earned enough trust that they'll they'll let me do some stupid stuff, and I appreciate it.'
