2) John Cena: You “Can” See me
Working with The Rock was like a dream for Cena, though this perceived thought turned quickly on John and the story became a bit of a nightmare. John was furious with the WWE after The Rock was repeatedly taking shots at him on the air with John being unable to respond. Cena was so mad that he refused to work the story any longer if he was unable to fight back to The Rock’s comments. Cena said it best, the fans wanted to see “LeBron against Jordan”, with the two at their very best and not Jordan against some pushover. Ultimately, Cena’s requests were met and he was given the green light to attack The Rock verbally on the air. The promos between the two wrestlers were usually unscripted, with the wrestlers literally speaking out of anger towards each other.
CM Punk also made claims during the Colt Cabana Podcast that Cena would often refuse storylines coming from Vince. Punk respected the fact that Cena stood up for himself when Vince asked him to work stupid outdated storylines; something that few wrestlers do today.
