John Cena addresses The Rock and Travis Scott’s WWE disappearance
Cody Rhodes and John Cena have finally opened up about their thoughts on The Rock and Travis Scott’s disappearance following WWE Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41.
Rhodes and Cena have addressed the sudden disappearance of The Rock and Travis Scott from WWE storylines following Elimination Chamber and WrestleMania 41, with the veteran revealing that neither he nor Rhodes dwelled on what could have been once the alliance was dropped. During Cena’s recent appearance on Rhodes’ What Do You Wanna Talk About? podcast, the duo reacted to it.
Speaking about the abandoned storyline, the 17-time World Champion explained that once the promotion lost access to The Rock and Scott, their focus immediately shifted to moving forward rather than speculating on missed possibilities.
“Hey, you have The Rock and Travis Scott.’ Awesome, we can plan all this stuff. ‘Hey, you don’t have those two guys anymore,’” Cena added. “Not once did you and I, the whole world has had the conversation of, ‘What would it have been like if?’ The two guys in it, with their d**k in the dirt, not once had a conversation about, ‘Man, what would it have been like if we had those guys?’ No. It was, ‘What do we do now?”
At Elimination Chamber, Cena joined forces with The Rock and Travis Scott to turn heel on Rhodes. The shocking moment led to one of the most talked-about storylines of the year, with Cena taking help from Scott at WrestleMania 41 to win his 17th World Championship. However, soon after that, the alliance storyline was dropped with both The Rock and Scott disappearing from the promotion.
Despite Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Scott missing from the promotion, Cena continued his run as a heel and participated in several highly-anticipated matches.
John Cena responds to fans criticizing his retirement run due to The Rock and Travis Scott’s absence
In the same interview, Cena also responded to the fans criticizing his retirement run due to The Rock and Scott’s absence.
“Lets walk down hypothetical street. Let’s say everyone who showed up at the Chamber is active until August. That robs us of John Cena, Randy Orton, that robs us of John Cena, CM Punk, John Cena, Ron Cena, John Cena, AJ Styles, John Cena, Logan Paul, me, and you for the last one.”
He further claimed, “So yes, the story that might have been might have had star power, and gravity, and who knows what, but what we got by just being like ‘these are the pieces left’. What we got, for me personally, was beautiful.”
Following a year of several iconic matches, Cena finally retired against Gunther on the December 13th edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event.
