WWE Hall of Famer Bubba Ray Dudley enjoyed this segment and tweeted the following about it:
“Really enjoyed the backstage w/ MJF and Hangman.
Can’t wait till, one day, both of them go to WWE, learn the correct way and become stars.”
• The alliance of The Rock and John Cena as a formidable heel duo has captured the wrestling world’s attention, and now, WWE is reportedly contemplating a fitting name for this powerful pairing.
According to WrestleVotes, “The Rock and Soul Connection” name is being considered.
The name, while seemingly straightforward, carries a deeper meaning. While some fans might speculate that the “Soul” component signifies John Cena’s perceived “selling his soul” to The Rock, the reality is far more sentimental. The “Soul” is intended as a tribute to The Rock’s late father, Rocky Johnson, who was affectionately known as “The Soulman.”
This potential moniker would serve as a nod to Rocky Johnson’s legacy, while also capturing the essence of the newly formed alliance. The “connection” aspect highlights the dynamic between The Rock and Cena, solidifying their status as a unified force within WWE.
Whether “The Rock and Soul Connection” becomes the official name remains to be seen. However, it’s clear that WWE is keen to establish a distinct identity for this high-profile heel duo, weaving in a heartfelt tribute to a wrestling legend in the process.
