Johnson’s last WrestleMania match gave him a scary story to narrate in front of his fans. He recently revealed how John Cena was involved in giving him two major injuries.

When he appeared on The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock revealed scary details about how, during his match with The Prototype, he was hit with two major injuries.

Despite facing a number of injuries during his football days, physical turbulence didn’t leave Johnson’s life even when he joined WWE. He has headlined the annual WrestleMania events several times. However, WrestleMania 29 made its mark on the former wrestler because of what had happened to him during the match. Defending his world title against John Cena didn’t go as planned when the 46-year-old gave his opponent a ‘Rock Bottom’. The Great One couldn’t handle his own finisher because he over-rotated his body in the air. According to the wrestling legend, he heard a crackling sound when he hit the wrestling mat.

DJ recalled the dreadful experience by saying, “I’m like, ‘Damn, what just happened?’ I thought a bone came through my skin.” The WWE legend was so scared that he then had to check under his boxers to confirm. “There was no bone… I get up, now I start to get numb from the waist down. I can’t feel anything,” added the 51-year-old, sharing how he got worried.

Worried about his health, the referee asked Johnson if he was okay and the wrestler replied affirmatively. However, he did ask the referee about the time left on the clock. After it was revealed to him that only 10 minutes had passed in the match, the Hollywood celebrity prayed to the Gods to give him strength till the end of the match.
