Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are without a doubt the two most well-known superstars to emerge from the WWE. Both former wrestlers are now A-Listers in Hollywood and have made several blockbuster hits. However, before they rose to fame as Hollywood’s biggest performers, they were involved in a legendary feud that they occasionally played up in real life.

Likewise, on the Jimmy Kimmel show, both superstars took some humorous jabs at each other. To hush DJ, Cena ultimately responded in a humorous way.

In 2018, Kimmel brought up The Rock during his chat with Cena, saying that DJ had appeared on his show the night before and had offered the 16-time champion some instruction.

Kimmel, reading Johnson’s message where The Rock warned Cena that if he ever acts out, he will take his teeth so deep down his throat that he will have to stick a toothbrush up his posterior to brush them.

To which Cena made a hilarious response by saying, “If you think you are making threats to me by thinking making me shovel a toothbrush to my bum is a threat. I got some advice for you, pal, and by pal, I totally mean my best friend.”

He added, “If you think shoving a toothbrush up my b**t is a threat, you gotta news coming. There’s been a funnel up there, there’s been a parking code, and there’s more traffic in that region than a Monday on the 405 in both directions.”

Cena continued the joke, analyzing The Rock’s statement that DJ wanted to clean his buttocks since a toothbrush does the cleansing. Then asked him, “Do you really want to smell what John Cena is putting out?” as the final question.

Are Dwayne Johnson and John Cena friends?

As many professional wrestlers and athletes acknowledge, the rivalry only exists in the ring. Likewise, Cena and Johnson have mended all of their past animosity and have become closer. The two can therefore be seen as buddies.

In addition, a series of Cena’s early Hollywood movies failed to sell to audiences. Dwayne Johnson really gave him advice on how to be himself, as till then, DJ had already cemented himself as a Hollywood star.
