Stamford, CT – Disappointing news for wrestling fans today, as they will have to wait just a tad longer for the dream match up of The Rock vs. John Cena. Originally the match was planned as the main event for Wrestlemania 28 next year in Miami, but that announcement was reportedly a mistake, and instead will take place at Wrestlemania 38.
The Rock later cleared up the misunderstanding to The Potato.
“The Rock misspoke last night, he got a little bit caught up in the moment, and for that The Rock apologizes,” The Rock said. “The Rock said one year, when he really meant ten. But honestly, The Rock has better things to do for the next nine years than wrestle Cena.
Returning to Hollywood, The Rock has a whole line of films that he is working on. On his plate is going to be in the next four "Fast in the Furious" sequels, ("Fast Five", "Speed Up Six", "Slow Down Seven", E"ngine Leak Eight"), and also a prequel to The Tooth Fairy, and will star in the much rumored reboot of “Look Who’s Talking.”
WWE officials are said to be in panic mode without The Rock in the main event next year. They fear that they may have to actually start pushing younger talent and see if one of them becomes popular. Most believe they will just find another celebrity instead.
“I can’t believe I have to wait a decade.” John Cena said. “I mean, I need this. I really need this. I’ve beat everyone on the roster multiple times, most of them in handicapped matches. What am I going to do, beat Sheamus again? Or maybe Sin Cara, I don’t think I’ve buried him yet... have I?”
Though the match is a long ways off, WWE promises to promote the match every week on their shows, with The Rock expected to return at least once every other year for additional hype.
“Make no mistake about it,” The Rock said. “Cena, at Wrestlemania 38 The Rock will bring it. I may be almost 50 then, but I’ll still whip your candy ass. Unless The Rock is still doing movies... then I’ll see you at WrestleMania 50 you jabroni!”
Among other matches announced for Wrestlemania 38 are Triple H vs. Undertaker in their third ever “first time” WrestleMania match, Mae Young vs. Awesome Kong, Michael Cole vs. Josh Matthews, and if there is time, Daniel Bryan vs. Sheamus for the U.S. Title.
