John Cena weighs in on former Fast & Furious feud between Dwayne 'The Rock' ... trends now
John Cena addressed the past, longstanding feud between his Fast & Furious co-star Vin Diesel and fellow WWE wrestler Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson.
During an appearance on a recent episode of the Armchair Expert podcast, the actor, 46, weighed in on the on-set discord between his castmates.
When host Dax Shepherd said having Johnson and Diesel working together on set was 'a rough pairing,' Cena was inclined to agree about the rumors, which went back nearly a decade and began circa 2016 when they first worked together on the fifth franchise film.
'There's certainly rumors about that,' Cena conceded. 'I can't deny that.'
He shared that both Diesel and Johnson are alpha types, adding that they don't necessarily work well together for that reason.

'You have two very alpha, driven people,' he said on the podcast. 'You get two, there can only be one.'
As for how he survived with the amount of alphas in the franchise, he said he turned to his experience in WWE, where he learned to keep his head down and be a team player.
'Man, you gotta remember I got dropped into a locker room where [we have] generational vets,' he recalled about being surrounded by wrestlers who came from families of wrestlers.
'I've been in that environment,' he said before adding that he learned to 'know the room and just kind of adapt to what's going on.'
'I'm being invited into someone's home, into someone's family,' he continued.
'And regardless of how they look physically in comparison to another human being, this is one IP that has had nine installments and it's an action movie — that's rarefied air,' he added. 'At the very least, there has to be respect for that.'
The longstanding Fast & Furious feud between the two 'alphas' came to an end last year when Johnson made a shocking appearance, returning as Luke Hobbs, in a Fast X mid-credits scene.
He had previously publicly declared that 'there was no chance I would return' to the franchise.
