John Cena reportedly unhappy with WrestleMania 28 loss to The Rock

Former WWE referee Mike Chioda has claimed that John Cena was unhappy following his loss to The Rock at WrestleMania 28. Chioda, who officiated the 2012 main event in Miami, stated on X that Cena “was not happy about doing the job” that night.

The match, billed as a “once in a lifetime” encounter, ended with The Rock securing a clean victory after countering Cena’s attempt at the People’s Elbow with a Rock Bottom. While many fans expected a different outcome regarding the passing of the torch, the result set the stage for a rematch at WrestleMania 29, where Cena defeated The Rock to win the WWE Championship.
