After 10 Years: The Rock and John Cena Face Off Yet Again at SmackDown 2023

(SPOT.ph) Those who grew up watching the wrestling entertainment scene in the 2000's are all aware of the historic feud between two of wrestling's biggest titans in the early 2010's. A decade later, the rivalry between WWE stars Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson and John "You Can't See Me" Cena may seem like a fond yet distant memory—especially after both have become high-profile movie stars in the past decade—but a simple reunion on a mid-September Friday Night SmackDown is enough to bring us back to the good ol' days.

The Rock and John Cena reunite at SmackDown 2023:

The Rock made a special guest appearance on the September 15 episode of SmackDown to take on Austin Theory alongside Pat McAfee. It's the former WWE star's first appearance in the ring since the  SmackDown 20th anniversary in 2019. To greet him for such an occasion was none other than his former rival Cena, who was taking on Jimmy Uso and Solo Sikoa later in the show.

The People's Champion and The Greatest of All Time kicked off their reunion with a little cheeky jab from the Rock, "I can see him." The subsequent staredown between the two Fast and Furious and DCEU stars concluded with a wholesome "Welcome home" from Cena, with cheers erupting from the crowd.
