The Rock & Cena Tag Team Name Rumor Debunked by Rock’s Business Partner

One Big Thing

Brian Gewirtz, The Rock’s business partner and former WWE head writer, firmly denied reports about “The Rock and Soul Connection” being considered as a tag team name for The Rock and John Cena.

Key Details

• Gewirtz responded to the rumor on Twitter with a direct statement: “Your sources are drunk.”
• The proposed name was reportedly meant to honor Rocky Johnson, The Rock’s father
• Gewirtz’s close relationship with The Rock gives significant weight to his denial

Why It Matters

This denial comes at a crucial time as WWE builds toward WrestleMania 40, where The Rock and Roman Reigns will face Cody Rhodes and Seth Rollins in a high-stakes tag team match on Night 1.

By The Numbers

• The Rock and Cena have faced each other twice at WrestleMania (28 and 29)
• This will be their first time teaming together in WWE
• John Cena’s return is scheduled for March 17 in Brussels

What’s Next

• WWE plans to feature Cena in a segment with R-Truth to solidify his heel turn
• The company still needs to establish an official team name for Rock and Cena
• Both stars continue building momentum toward WrestleMania 40

The Bottom Line

While “The Rock and Soul Connection” won’t be the team name, WWE still has time to create a memorable moniker for this historic partnership before WrestleMania 40.
