The Rock showed up at the WWE Elimination Chamber Premium Live Event from Toronto at the Rogers Centre to hear Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes’ answer for an alliance between them. After Rhodes turned him down, Rock got his own champion in the way of John Cena.
Cena won the Men’s Elimination Chamber Match to earn the right to challenge Rhodes for the title at WrestleMania. Cena turned heel by brutally attacking Rhodes.
While speaking at the WWE Elimination Chamber Post-Show, The Rock shared his thoughts on Cena’s heel turn.
“It was an amazing moment. We as entertainers, whether in pro wrestling or film or television, you really live for moments like that where you can hopefully create something that can be very compelling and moving for the audience and take 38,000 strong in Toronto and what we have collectively thought about and talked about in the back, before and certainly after this moment, no one knew really what was going to happen. Maybe if you called it, but for the most part, I thought the moment was incredible, and I personally love that. I’ve been around the block in terms of being a pro wrestler. I love this business. What I felt tonight, and I’ve been a part of some really phenomenal professional wrestling angles, and as a kid growing up, I’ve seen some amazing pro wrestling angles. I felt like tonight stood beside all of those that were iconic angles.”
