Watch: John Cena regrets calling The Rock a 'part-time' WWE Superstar

John Cena has become more of a part-time talent for WWE as he continues to pursue opportunities outside the company - something he once specifically criticized The Rock for.

While appearing on Tuesday's episode of "Talking Smack" with John Bradshaw Layfield and Renee Young, Cena admitted he now regrets those comments and has apologized to The Rock in person.

"I was wrong, he was right. He's now the highest-paid actor in Hollywood," Cena said. "He has transcended this business. And I think any time a Superstar can give what he's given to the WWE, and then transcend the WWE, that's good for all of us."
