The Rock's acting career reached new heights over a decade ago when he was cast as Luke Hobbs in the Fast and the Furious franchise. The movie became a huge hit of the year and made The Final Boss a staple in the series going forward, where he also got his own spin-off in 2019, along with Jason Statham as Deckard Shaw.

Recently, Tyrese Gibson on X tweeted and confirmed that the legendary Portuguese footballer, Cristiano Ronaldo, joined the cast of the next Fast and Furious installment following Fast X. Gibson also shared a post with the cast, including The Rock.

The Rock sent a heartfelt message to John Cena ahead of Saturday Night's Main Event

The Rock and John Cena were on the same page in Toronto when The Franchise Player turned heel on Cody Rhodes. Later, The Final Boss, The Leader of the Cenation, and Travis Scott attacked the champion and made a deafening statement heading into WrestleMania 41.

However, Johnson and Scott were nowhere to be seen on the weekly product following the event. Eventually, the Men's Grand Slam Champion cut ties with the duo heading into his rematch with Cody Rhodes at SummerSlam 2025 in New Jersey.

Ahead of Saturday Night's Main Event in Washington, The Rock sent a heartfelt message to his former on-screen rival on Instagram. The multi-time WWE world champion also thanked him for his contribution to the industry and for their feud in the company.

"Last thing for you, tonight when you go out, right before your music hits, I want you to remember the thing that you and I always talked about before we go out the curtain and before you and I have done our dance in many arenas and stadiums across the country,... Have fun, go have fun, John Cena you're the Goat, go have f***ing fun and tear that house down man," Johnson said on Instagram.

It'll be interesting to see whether Johnson returns to the weekly product in the coming weeks or months, heading into WrestleMania 42 in Nevada.
