      John Cena and Dave Bautista can both be hilarious comedic actors. I’d give John the edge in the being the funnier of the two. But I’ve also seen Dave play serious, sweet, dramatic, even menacing. Hell he was basically all 4 of those in Knock at the Cabin, alone. Dude has got range.

      Dwayne Johnson is good at playing Dwayne Johnson™.

          Yeah, I do feel like early acting career Dwayne had more range. More recently he is just the rock in various settings, wardrobes and occasional wigs. It’s probably not even entirely his fault though. Presumably the producers and directors are telling him to be this way. He’s been typecast as the same stereotypical cocky macho guy over and over. And don’t get me wrong, he’s still funny sometimes. But he is still just portraying basically himself, most of the time.
