When The Rock returned to WWE in 2011, it’s safe to say John Cena wasn’t a fan.

Heading into AEW Revolution, one of the biggest questions surrounding the main event, Sting and Darby Allin versus the Young Bucks for the AEW World Tag Team Championships regarded which members from “The Icon’s” past would attend the show in support of their long-time friend.

Though it may be hard to recall now, as he’s since gone on to have one of the greatest in-ring careers in WWE history and has all but locked up a spot on the promotion’s Mount Rushmore, you wouldn’t know it by the way John Cena debuted all the way back in 2002, as his […]

[…]

Though some may quibble on the margins over semantics, an accepted fact of the WWE Universe is that John Cena has never had a proper heel run during his time on the main roster.

[…]

Since returning properly on RAW Day 1 up through his current spot heading into the first SmackDown of March and beyond, there’s been one question above all others that has racked the minds of the WWE Universe: what happened between The Rock and Cody Rhodes?
