3 Wrestlers The Rock is Good Friends with and 2 he probably doesn't like

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is the second generation superstar. He is the son of Hall of Famer Rocky Johnson. He initially started his career in the WWE as a heel character in 1996. Though he is such a big star in the Wrestling industry and Hollywood, he never makes news on making the brawls backstage. Since joining the WWE, he has made some friends that are still by his side and also the enemies that try to put him down all the way along.

Despite all of these circumstances, The Rock is one of the most electrifying figures in the Sports-Entertainment and a legendary main-eventer and it was never like that his success in WWE got over his head and he started to make some enemies, it was his success that made other wrestlers envy of him.

Today in this listing, we're going to take a look at those 5 wrestlers who are good friends with The Rock and at those who he probably doesn't like.

#3 Good Friend- "Stone Cold" Steve Austin

Stone Cold and The Rock are the biggest superstars of all-time that anyone has ever seen. Both of them started their career as a heel in WWF/E and were famous for their fierce rivalry which led to their matches at WrestleMania 15, 17 and 19.

Since starting in WWE they both were backstage buddies. Though they were often seen as the rivals on-screen, this wasn't the similar case in their real life. When WWE was booking them as rivals they didn't get a single problem to do so. I guess it was their friendship that makes all the work possible and forced both men to bring out the best of them and made their feud most successful that anyone has ever seen.

Seeing both stars back at WrestleMania 30 it's confirmed that to this day, both men still share the same relationship as it was back in the starting of their wrestling career. And, I hope it will still continue to grow throughout their lifetime.

#3 Probably Doesn't Like- Road Dogg

The New Age Outlaws member, Road Dogg at one point in time was very critical of The Rock's behavior towards the other guys in the backstage area of WWE. He supposedly thought that The Rock was acting too arrogant in the locker room back in 1999.

Also, in an interview (which you can see below) Road Dogg confirmed the same and continued to say that The Rock was not also comfortable with the other members of DX.

But, it was noted that once "The Great One" left the WWE to put his career in various ventures his rivalry with Road Dogg was supposedly came to an end. Luckily their real-life rivalry didn't reach its highest peak as it was ended before it could become a major problem for the WWE.

#2 Good Friends- Brock Lesnar

After seeing Brock Lesnar it does come to the mind that he doesn't have many friends in the company today. But it was different back in 2002 when Lesnar arrived on the scene since then both men did really get along.

It was noted that at one point in time, several guys in WWE supposedly wasn't the great fan of "The Beast Incarnate" and also declined to put him over them so soon. But this wasn't the similar case with The Rock at all. As it was seen in a match of SummerSlam 2002 The Great One accepted to lost his "World Undisputed Championship" to Lesnar.

I guess it was their feud that made both men who they are today and brought them closer together as a friend. While building up their feud both superstars build-up a relationship that is not broken till date and never will be. Although, both superstars are not together anymore in the same industry they still find a way to talk to each other.

#2 Probably Doesn't Like-Kevin Nash

Kevin Nash was the member of the stable called The Kliq. During the year 2002, they both were booked as rivals. With the Nash was shown-off as a heel while The Rock was acting as the people's champ.

While their rivalry was going on The Rock delivered a promo segment on Raw in which he stated Kevin Nash as "Big Daddy's Bit**". And listening to The Rock's harsh comments made against Nash, it made him offended and thought that The Rock was disrespecting his career in WWE.

Also, after their rivalry was over it was seen several times that the members of nWo were often taking a shot at him without a hesitation. Although, The Rock has now moved on from his old beef with Nash, the same can't be said for his rival as it is seen from time to time that the member of nWo still digs a shot at "The Brahma Bull" when he possibly can.

#1 Good Friends-John Cena

The Franchise player and The Great One are friends in real life. But it was all different when The Rock returned after his long absence from the WWE. Upon his return, it was noted that both men have real life issues going on between them.

Also, it was noted that after The Rock left WWE to pursue a career in acting several comments were made by Cena which didn't do anything good for both men and in response, The Rock also delivered some harsh words against Cena.

After seeing these issues WWE scheduled a match for them at WrestleMania 28. This match was called "Once in a Lifetime" as it was made official almost a year ago in which The Rock came atop. Also due to the happening of this match, it surprisingly vanished away all the heat going on between them for a long time. Since then the two have really gotten along.

Also, In an interview, The Rock confirmed the same and stated that it was just the childish issues that keep both men apart for a long time but the same is not happening right now as the misconceptions that stood between them has been forgotten.
