Down in Panama, on the set of The Rock's upcoming summer reality series, TNT's The Hero, I had a chance to speak with the reigning WWE Champion about the outcome of this past Monday's RAW match between John Cena and CM Punk.
Cena won the epic battle, which is already an early contender for "Match of the Year," solidifying his spot in the Main Event of WrestleMania 29 to face The Rock for the WWE Championship. But did The Rock have a favorite? Did he want Cena, the man he defeated in the Main Event of 'Mania last year, to win and face him again?
"He was my pick, yes," The Rock confirmed. "Definitely. You have to understand that my return back into the WWE was years in the making. And since I've been back, it's been a three year-long journey that started at WrestleMania 27 in Atlanta. So John has always been my first choice. Here's the thing. The question was that if I was going to go back in the WWE, how could I go back and make the most impact? With who can I headline WrestleMania in that company and make the most impact? And the bottom line is that it continues to be John Cena. Just in terms of, and we'll use a Hollywood term here, box office appeal. Universal appeal. Athletic pairing. So there are a lot of reasons."
"I think we're going to have a great match and my hope is that it's going to be a classic," The Rock continued. "With some great drama, some great emotion. This scenario for me is one that I've honestly dreamed of. A dream match. And what I'm talking about is being able to go back to the WWE and give back to the business, which is in my blood and has allowed me a platform to perform which then, twelve years ago, allowed me to make he transition to Hollywood. So the scenario I've dreamed of is that I'm able to go back, become WWE Champion, go into the what is considered the biggest marketplace in the world, which is the New York City area, at MetLife Stadium and headline WrestleMania as champion and give back to the business, the fans, the company and their number one hero. So I couldn't have asked for a better scenario and we're going to have a blast." | |
