The Rock and John Cena are two individuals who fans have often compared to each other. Both men have been faces of WWE and have had legendary careers before going on to conquer the world of Hollywood as well. Splitting them is something that will always cause conflict, as it’s a matter of opinion.
That’s why we have stepped in to try and provide an answer as to who the greatest is between the People’s Champion and the record-holding 17-time World Champion. The achievement has been made by asking AI which man would win a 100 meter race between them, a simple test of speed that would give a definitive answer to this age-old debate.
John Cena Would Win A 100 Meter Dash Against The Rock
- Neither man is known for being a fast runner.
- Both hit the ropes with speed inside the ring.
- Cena does sprint to the ring as part of his WWE entrances.
According to AI, if John Cena and The Rock were to compete in a 100 meter dash, Cena would be the man to get the win. Both men are great athletes, and even though they’re at the older end of the professional wrestling spectrum, the two of them remain in tremendous shape due to their meticulous physical care.
AI thinks that Cena would have a slight advantage if the two men were running in their individual peaks. This is due to him having a slightly leaner build, with Cena having always focused on explosive lifting and conditioning, which would give him a lot of power in his legs to get running quickly.
Both of them have a history of playing football before they stepped into the wrestling world, but AI believes that Cena’s time at Springfield College featured more sprint-based work than what The Rock’s time at the University of Miami featured, and that’s why he would be able to out-sprint the People’s Champion if they were in a foot race.
John Cena Would Beat The Rock At Any Age
- AI has backed The Rock to be more competitive today.
- The Rock improved his physique as he got older.
- Cena has started to slow down inside the ring.
Even though AI believes that Cena would win a 100 meter dash between them, it did claim that the race would be a lot closer if it were to happen right now, rather than with both of them in their primes. However, while AI is adamant that the race would be tighter, which is due to the fact that The Rock always remains in fantastic physical condition, it still thinks that Cena would be the winner.
While that’s not to say that John Cena doesn’t look after himself, The Rock has grown and improved his physique since leaving the wrestling business. Even though that might be a backward approach, it has certainly worked in his favor when it comes to acting, and would certainly give him a lot of power over a short-distance run like this.
The idea that Cena would still win could also be due to the fact he sprints to the ring whenever he competes in a match. He’s kept himself nimble when it comes to short bursts of speed, with that element of his entrance always being one of the most exciting.
Nothing Separated John Cena And The Rock Inside The Ring
- They headlined two straight WrestleManias.
- The two men teamed up as well, defeating The Miz and R-Truth.
- Cena took out The Rock to help Cody Rhodes dethrone Roman Reigns.
Putting the two men in a 100 meter race might be the only way that they could be separated in the eyes of wrestling fans. After all, there was nothing to split them inside the squared circle. They had an epic feud against each other, which spun across three different WrestleManias, with The Rock and Cena facing each other twice in singles action.
With one win each to their name, there was ultimately nothing to split them. The Rock won their first encounter, while Cena got his win back the following year to even the odds. Although that worked out perfectly for them in terms of not hurting either man, it didn’t truly make either man feel like they had won the feud, which is what the WWE Universe was hoping for at the time.
John Cena winning the final encounter against The Rock felt like a passing of the torch moment, but it came too late in his career to truly make an impact. Their careers are always going to be compared, but when it comes to wrestling, they both have clear skills that make it difficult for that to be achieved, which is why the idea of them having a race would be a great idea that fans would love to see. Now that Cena is edging toward retirement, this is something that might end up being a viable option if they still have that competitive edge.
