WWE storylines are scripted, but Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson swears his beef with John Cena was the real deal.
Johnson spoke about his and Cena's rivalry on Tuesday night's episode of "Jimmy Kimmel Live," admitting they "had real problems with each other" during their days in WWE together. The two are very close now, though.
"What's great about our relationship is he's one of my best friends," Johnson said. "We talk all the time. I'm rooting for him to win."
Cena recently expressed interest in working with Johnson on a future "Fast and Furious" movie, telling Entertainment Weekly's Derek Lawrence that it "would be a dream."
