The Rock and John Cena Will Allegedly Cross Paths by Summer’s End

The Rock hasn’t been seen on WWE television since Elimination Chamber 2025, but that could change this summer, according to a former WWE star.

Jonathan Coachman shared on The Coach & Bro Show that he was informed by a source that The Rock is expected to return and cross paths with John Cena by the end of the summer.

“On top of that, I have it on good authority—who haven’t we [sic] seen? Who’s been taking all of the stray bullets when it comes to, ‘Oh, you threw Triple H under the bus. You’re nowhere to be found.’ Who is that? The Rock,” Coachman said. “And I have it on good authority that Cena and The Rock will cross paths in one way or another by the end of the summer.”

The speculation comes after Cena’s controversial heel turn on Cody Rhodes at Elimination Chamber in February. Cena aligned himself with The Rock, attacking Rhodes after The American Nightmare rejected The Rock’s proposal to join forces. The storyline culminated in Cena defeating Rhodes at WrestleMania 41, leaving The Rock to step away from the spotlight.

Coachman also hinted that Cena’s conflicted look after retaining the Undisputed WWE Championship against Randy Orton at Backlash could be a setup for a massive tag team match later this summer.

• May 24: WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event – Tampa, FL
