WWE planning new name for heel duo of The Rock and John Cena

John Cena shocked the world when he turned heel and attacked Cody Rhodes, siding with The Rock. Nobody expected the biggest babyface of the company to turn to the dark side. Now that The Final Boss and Cena have finally joined forces, a name for their tag team has been suggested.

According to WrestleVotes Radio, the idea of calling The Rock and John Cena’s team “The Rock and Soul Connection” has been discussed. It resembles the name associated with him and Mick Foley, “The Rock and Sock Connection.” All these rumors hint that the two megastars may team up for a match soon.

The Doctor of Thuganomics returned at the Money in the Bank PLE last year and announced that 2025 would be his final year as a wrestler. He competed in his last-ever Royal Rumble match but fell short to Jey Uso. In the press conference after the Royal Rumble, Cena directly announced himself for the Elimination Chamber match.

In hindsight, this was a big hint at Cena turning heel, because Cena, the fans knew, would never accept anything being handed to him straight away. After winning the Elimination Chamber by putting CM Punk to sleep, The Rock asked Cody Rhodes to become his champion. He refused, and boom! Cena brutally attacked him and joined The Final Boss instead. Needless to say, the road to WrestleMania just got interesting.

The WWE Universe also suggested some cool names for the heel duo of The Rock and John Cena

After the WWE Universe heard the news about WWE labeling The Rock and John Cena’s team as “The Rock and Soul Connection,” they began discussing a new name. Some fans loved the name, while others were not too thrilled with it.

One fan didn’t like the idea at all, calling it a terrible name. Another fan suggested a different name, such as “Break a Wish Foundation,” taking a dig at the great work both superstars have done through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. Here are some of the top reactions from fans:

One user claimed that the name should include the word “Hollywood,” given how much work The Rock and John Cena have done in the film industry. Another user said that the name only gave importance to The Rock and not to Cena. Overall, the WWE Universe wasn’t too thrilled with the name.
