In the main event of WrestleMania 28 in 2012, The Rock defeated John Cena in a “Once In A Lifetime” match.
In the main event of WrestleMania 29 in 2013, John Cena defeated The Rock to win the WWE Championship in a “Greatness vs. Redemption” match.
Rock raised Cena’s hand after the loss and that was his last proper advertised match to date. His only match after that was a 6-second victory over Erick Rowan of The Wyatt Family in an impromptu match at WrestleMania 32 in 2016.
During an interview on The Pat McAfee Show, The Rock was asked if he hasn’t wrestled a proper match in 10 years because of the fear of injury, as he got injured at WrestleMania 29 and that halted the production of his movie ‘Hercules’.
The Rock said it all comes down to doing something meaningful in WWE, something that’s never been done before:
“Honestly brother it’s not… it’s not the injuries that I’m concerned about because that’s just part of it. It’s just part of the game you sign up for it, you get hurt, we all get hurt.
That’s just the way it is, it’s not even a schedule, because I could control the schedule to a large degree.
It always comes to me going back to WWE and wrestling a match, always comes down to the reason why and what can we create that’s never been done before for the fans.”
