The rivalry between John Cena and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the most famous rivalries in the history of WWE. Although the rivalry ended a few years ago still the fans think of their rivalry when their names are seen or spoken together.

Cena ‘Violated’ Dwayne Johnson’s Trust during WWE Hollywood Move Feud

WWE superstar John Cena has publicly apologized for his past criticisms of Dwayne Johnson’s transition from WWE’s wrestling ring to the red carpet of Hollywood. Cena openly admitted that he breached The Rock’s trust by making such criticism during their feud.

According to a recent report, John Cena stated this at a press conference for the WWE Fastlane event. The superstar acknowledged that some might consider him a hypocrite for criticizing Dwayne’s move from wrestling to acting as he also followed the same path to make it big.

“If you’ve been following what I’ve tried to do, especially as of late, publicly and personally to Dwayne Johnson, I’ve stated that although I thought I was trying to do what’s best for business. I went about it the wrong way. I violated his trust, and I made allegations about his perspective that I knew nothing about. And deep down, I was a fan. I wanted The Rock back [in WWE]. I wanted to do anything to get The Rock back, but I did it the wrong way.” said John Cena.

Who made more from Hollywood: Cena or Johnson?

Both John Cena and Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock are earning millions of dollars every year. However, there is a huge gap in both superstar’s Hollywood earnings.

Dwayne Johnson boasts a remarkable career in Hollywood compared to John Cena as he has acted in more films and has earned more money. His movies have collectively grossed more than $10.5 billion at the global box office, a milestone Cena has yet to reach. While both are regarded as talented actors, there is a notable difference in their earnings. Dwayne Johnson typically commands a fee of over $20 million per movie, while John Cena’s compensation hovers around $10 million, particularly for big projects.

The Rock has been recognized as one of the highest-paid Hollywood actors, whereas John Cena has yet to achieve that status. Nevertheless, there is good hope that Cena’s earnings will see a substantial increase if his upcoming projects generate significant buzz and receive a positive response from audiences
