Whenever these two titans collide the WWE Universe is always in for a treat from back and forth verbal banter to lethal strikes in the ring. However, Cena said it is relatively easy to work with The Rock inside the ring.

He said that Dwayne is so electrifying that sometimes it gets difficult to reach his mindset while wrestling him. It goes without saying that the Rock was one of the greatest of all time. But when Cena compliments your work, you know you’re on a different level.

“That’s easy. He’s really good. When you are paired with a gifted performer, you have to do your absolute best. The Rock is so electrifying and so good at what he does that when you are in his universe; you need to be at his level.” Cena said.

The two would face each other at WrestleMania 29 for a rematch. Only this time, The Rock was the WWE Champion and Cena was the challenger.
