Rock was pissed b/c I can't recall anyone actually gettin under the skin of Rock like that. Lol
 
To an extent, yeah..but Rock legit was pissed at Cena. Cena was on his ultimate troll game in this feud. Rocky wasn’t happy w how Cena was calling out him leaving wrestling, going Hollywood, talking over him in the above promo and pointing out the words on the wrist thing. Cena wasn’t happy w Rock going over in their first match, considering he’s was a Hollywood ‘part-timer’.

Everything that I’ve looked up shows this started off on a real beef type thing..yes they’ll work together for paychecks sake, but Rocky really had a sour taste in his mouth for John. By match 2 it had cooled down.

Cena was already calling out Rock when Rock inducted his family into the Hall of Fame. Rock gave him a light roast and it was all good, none of this supposed animosity was present on either side.

Cena was angling for a match cause that's the job, other guys were too but they weren't the top guy and Cena was. When Rock came back he agreed to 3 years and 5 matches. That Cena had been calling him out gave them and immediate hook to start building the match with. Which they did from Rocks very 1st return appearance. Had Cena not been running Rock down prior, they'd have no natural launch point to build from.

The layout to their feud was known from day 1. No one would need to be angry because it was always understood where they were going and what they were driving too. One hosting job. One tag match. Two singles matches at Mania. Cena had no reason to be mad about jobbing in the first match because he knew he was getting the win back before he even worked the first match. They booked Rock in Miami in his first Mania match in 9 years, Cena knew he was doing that job.

The Rock is renowned for his mic skills, arguably the greatest ever. He had subsequently became a Hollywood actor who memorizes lines for a living. Why on God's green earth would he need to write his lines on his wrist? Something he had never done before or after? To give Cena something to use against him, since as Stephanie had said repeatedly, the objective was to get a "Team Edward vs Team Jacob, twilight" response for the match. Giving Rock a chink in his armor for Cena to exploit was a step towards that objective.

Cena trolling was the entire point of the story. He was shown to be brash and arrogant which proved to be his undoing. It literally played into the finish when he tried to do the people's elbow and got beat for his troubles. Rock had no reason to be angry since that was exactly what the story called for. The story worked by the way to the tune of the biggest buyrate of all time. Why anyone thinks that the principal parties would treat this as anything but an unmitigated success is beyond me.

Tldr: It was all a work.
