John Felix Anthony Cena Jr. (/ˈsiːnə/; born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, actor, rapper and television host. He is currently signed to WWE, where he appears for both the Raw and SmackDown brands.
Cena gained fame in the WWE in the early 2000s, portraying a trash-talking rapper.[8][9] This success promoted Cena to act as the company's franchise player[10] and its public face,[11] which later prompted a transition to his current character, which he describes as a "goody-two shoes Superman".[12] Under his current incarnation, Cena has attained mainstream fame, and has won 25 championships throughout his career, with 16 reigns as a world champion.[Note 1][13] His 16 world title wins are tied with Ric Flair's, per WWE records.[14] Cena is a five-time United States Champion and a four-time world tag team champion. He is also a Money in the Bank ladder match winner (2012), a two-time Royal Rumble winner (2008, 2013), and a three-time Superstar of the Year Slammy Award winner (2009, 2010, 2012). He has also headlined WWE's flagship event WrestleMania on five occasions (2006, 2007, 2011, 2012, and 2013) as well as many other WWE pay-per-views. Despite his success, Cena's character is met with mixed critical reception, and he is considered one of the most polarizing professional wrestlers ever.[15]
Outside of wrestling, Cena released the album You Can't See Me (2005), which gained platinum certification in the United States. Cena has also enjoyed success as an actor, starring in The Marine (2006), 12 Rounds (2009), Legendary (2010), The Reunion (2011), Trainwreck (2015), The Wall (2017), Ferdinand (2017), and Bumblebee (2018).[16] He has also made several guest appearances on television, and was the host of the reality show American Grit.[17]
Cena was also known for his involvement in numerous philanthropic causes, namely the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where he has granted more than 500 wishes, the most in Make-A-Wish history.[18]

Early life
John Felix Anthony Cena Jr.[19] was born on April 23, 1977 in West Newbury, Massachusetts[20] to Carol (née Lupien) and John Felix Anthony Cena.[21] He has an older brother (Stephen) and three younger brothers (Dan, Matt, and Sean).[22] His maternal grandfather was baseball player Tony Lupien.[23] He is of English, French-Canadian, and Italian ancestry.[24] Raised Catholic, he attended Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts before transferring to Cushing Academy, a private prep boarding school in Ashburnham, Massachusetts. He then attended Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts.[25] In college, he was a NCAA Division III All-American center on the college football team[26] and wore the number 54,[25] which is still used on some of his WWE merchandise.[27][28] Cena graduated from Springfield College in 1998 with a degree in exercise physiology and body movement,[29] after which he pursued a career in bodybuilding[30][31] and worked as a limousine driver.[32]
Professional wrestling career
Ultimate Pro Wrestling (1999–2001; 2003)
Cena started training to become a professional wrestler in 1999 at Ultimate Pro Wrestling's (UPW) California-based Ultimate University operated by Rick Bassman. Once he was placed into an in-ring role, Cena began using a semi-robotic character known as The Prototype.[2][33] Some of this period of his career was documented in the Discovery Channel program Inside Pro Wrestling School.[citation needed] He held the UPW Heavyweight Championship for 27 days in April 2000.[34] Cena wrestled for the UPW until March 2001.[35] Cena returned to UPW for one night in 2003, losing to Frankie Kazarian by disqualification.[36]
World Wrestling Federation/World Wrestling Entertainment/WWE
Development and debut (2000–2002)
On October 10, 2000, while billed as The Prototype, Cena made his unofficial debut for the then World Wrestling Federation (WWF) on a SmackDown taping in a dark match against Mikey Richardson, which he lost.[37] He received another tryout on January 9, 2001 at a SmackDown taping in Oakland, California, this time defeating Aaron Aguilera. Cena wrestled again in a dark match at a SmackDown taping on March 13.
In 2001, Cena signed a developmental contract with the WWF and was assigned to its developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).[citation needed] During his time there, Cena wrestled under the ring name The Prototype and held the OVW Heavyweight Championship for three months and the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship (with Rico Constantino) for two months.[38][39] Throughout 2001, Cena would receive four tryouts for the WWF main roster, as he wrestled multiple enhancement talent wrestlers on both WWF house shows and in dark matches before WWF television events. Through the early months of 2002, Cena constantly found himself competing on house shows for the WWF, where he wrestled against the likes of Shelton Benjamin and Tommy Dreamer.
After his main roster call up in June 2002, Cena would continue to appear on OVW programming until the September 25 taping of OVW, where he lost to Kenny Brolin in a Loser Leaves OVW match. Cena would appear in a one-off appearance for the developmental farm in November under the ring name Mr. P in a six-man tag team match, where he teamed with future WWE Hall of Famer Big Boss Man and Charlie Haas in a winning effort against Lance Cade, Trevor Murdoch and Sean O'Haire.
Ruthless Aggression (2002)
On the June 24 episode of Raw, Mr. McMahon ordered the entire roster to the ring and declared that he needed them to all find some ruthless aggression from within themselves and that he was looking for one of them to stand out from the rest of the pack.[40] Cena made his WWE television debut on the June 27, 2002 episode of SmackDown by answering an open challenge by Kurt Angle. After declaring that he possessed "ruthless aggression", Cena lost by a pinning combination.[41] After the match, Cena was congratulated by Billy Kidman, Faarooq, Rikishi, and The Undertaker.[citation needed] Following the near-win, Cena became a fan favorite and started feuding with Chris Jericho, defeating Jericho at Vengeance.[41] Then, Cena feuded with Los Guerreros (Chavo and Eddie Guerrero) and Cena picked up a victory over Chavo Guerrero on the September 3, 2002 taping of Velocity.[citation needed] On the September 12 episode of SmackDown, Cena teamed with Edge in a losing effort against Los Guerreros, thus ending the feud in the process.[citation needed] Cena went on to defeat the likes of Albert and D-Von Dudley as he was restricted to appearances on Velocity for the rest of September.[citation needed]
In October 2002, Cena and Billy Kidman took part in a tag team tournament to crown the first WWE Tag Team Champions of the SmackDown brand, losing in the first round.[citation needed] The next week on SmackDown, Cena turned on and attacked Kidman, blaming him for their loss, becoming a villain for the first and only time in his career.[41] On the October 17 episode of SmackDown, Cena defeated Kidman in a singles contest,[citation needed] but was defeated by Kidman in a rematch on the October 24 episode of SmackDown.[citation needed]
The Doctor of Thuganomics (2002–2005)
Shortly after the Kidman attack on a Halloween themed episode of SmackDown, Cena dressed as Vanilla Ice performing a freestyle rap.[41] The following week on SmackDown, Cena received a new character: a rapper who cut promos while rhyming.[41] As the gimmick grew, Cena began adopting a variant of the 1980s WWF logo – dropping the "F" – as his "signature symbol", along with the slogan "Word Life".[42] At Rebellion, Cena would team with Dawn Marie in a losing effort against Kidman and Torrie Wilson in a mixed tag team match.[43][44]
Eventually, Cena was joined by an enforcer, Bull Buchanan, who was rechristened B-2 (also written B² and pronounced "B-Squared").[citation needed] B-2 helped Cena kick off 2003 in victorious fashion with a win over Rikishi on the January 2 episode of SmackDown and a win over Chavo Guerrero on the January 9 episode of SmackDown.[citation needed] Both Cena and B-2 participated in the 2003 Royal Rumble match, but were unsuccessful.[45] Cena and B-2 failed to capture the WWE Tag Team Championship from Los Guerreros, resulting in Cena replacing B-2 with Red Dogg until he was sent to the Raw brand in February 2003.[41]
For the first half of 2003, Cena sought the WWE Championship and chased the reigning champion Brock Lesnar after WrestleMania XIX, gaining upset wins over Eddie Guerrero, The Undertaker and Chris Benoit, who mocked him by wearing a "Toothless Aggression" shirt.[citation needed] Cena won a number one contender's tournament for the right to face off against Lesnar for the WWE Championship at Backlash, but he failed to win the title at the event.[46] After Backlash, Cena entered into a feud with Rhyno and Chris Benoit, which led to Cena, along with Chuck Palumbo and Johnny Stamboli, defeating the team of Spanky, Rhyno and Benoit at Judgment Day.[47] Shortly thereafter, Cena began mocking The Undertaker before and after his matches leading to a match between the two at Vengeance, where he lost a singles match against The Undertaker.[41][48]
In a rematch between the two, Cena would once again defeat The Undertaker on the August 5 episode of SmackDown, this time with assistance from A-Train. The feud between the two came to an end on the August 19 episode of SmackDown, when Cena and A-Train defeated Undertaker and Orlando Jordan in a tag team match. Cena then pursued the United States Championship, but lost to then champion Eddie Guerrero in a Latino Street Fight for the title.[49]
Cena with his customized United States Championship belt in January 2005
After losing to Kurt Angle at No Mercy,[50] Cena became a fan favorite (of which he's remained since) when he joined Angle as a member of his team at Survivor Series, where Cena and Chris Benoit were the survivors.[51] Despite feuding, Cena and Benoit would later join forces as a makeshift tag team and on the November 27 episode of SmackDown both won a 20-man battle royal to earn a WWE Championship match when, after being the last two men remaining, they would eliminate each other at the same time and were both declared joint winners of the match.[52] However, Benoit defeated Cena the following week on SmackDown to earn a WWE Championship match against Lesnar that same night.[53]
In early 2004, Cena participated in the Royal Rumble match at the Royal Rumble, making it to the final six before being eliminated by Big Show.[54] Chris Benoit was the eventual winner of the match.[55] The Royal Rumble elimination led to a feud with Big Show.[citation needed] At No Way Out, Cena faced Big Show and Kurt Angle in a triple threat match for a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XX, which Cena lost by submission to Angle.[56] Cena won his first singles championship in WWE, the United States Championship from Big Show at WrestleMania XX. He held the title for four months with successful defenses against the likes of Rene Dupree, Rob Van Dam and Booker T, until he was stripped of the title on the July 8 episode of SmackDown by Angle after he accidentally knocked him over, thus attacking an official.[citation needed] Cena won the championship back defeating Booker T in a best of five series that culminated at No Mercy,[57] only to drop it to the débuting Carlito Caribbean Cool the following week on SmackDown.[citation needed] After the loss to Carlito, the duo began a feud, which resulted in Cena allegedly being stabbed in the kidney while at a Boston-area nightclub by Carlito's bodyguard, Jesús.[citation needed] This worked injury was used to keep Cena out of action for a month while Cena was filming The Marine.[citation needed] Immediately on his return in November, Cena won the United States Championship back from Carlito.[58] Cena later successfully defended the championship against Jesus at Armageddon in a street fight match.[59]
Cena took part in the 2005 Royal Rumble match, making it to the final two along with Batista until both went over the top rope at the same time, ostensibly ending the match, which was restarted and won by Batista.[60] The next month, Cena then participated in a number one contender's tournament for the WWE Championship and made to the finals at No Way Out, where he defeated Kurt Angle to earn a spot in the SmackDown brand's WrestleMania 21 main event match,[61] beginning a feud with then WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) and his Cabinet in the process. In the early stages of the feud, Cena lost the United States Championship to Cabinet member Orlando Jordan after JBL interfered and hit Cena with his title belt.[citation needed]
WWE Champion (2005–2007)
Cena defeated JBL at WrestleMania to win the WWE Championship, giving Cena his first world championship.[62] Cena then had a spinner WWE Championship belt made,[citation needed] while JBL took the original title belt and claimed to still be WWE Champion,[citation needed] until Cena reclaimed the original championship belt in an "I Quit" match at Judgment Day.[63]
Cena applying an STF to Mark Henry, he began using the move in 2005
Cena was drafted to the Raw brand on June 6, 2005, taking his title with him and became the first wrestler selected in the annual draft lottery.[64] Cena immediately entered a feud with Eric Bischoff, after refusing to participate in the "war" against the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) roster at One Night Stand.[citation needed] At Vengeance, Cena made his first successful title defense since coming to Raw, defeating Christian and Chris Jericho in a triple threat match. With Bischoff vowing to make Cena's stint on Raw difficult, he hand picked Jericho to take Cena's championship from him.[citation needed] During their feud, even though Cena was portrayed as the "face" (hero) and Jericho as the "heel" (villain), a vocal section of live crowds, nonetheless, were cheering Jericho during their matches.[65] Crowds started to heavily boo Cena during his next feud with Kurt Angle,[66] who took over as Bischoff's hand-picked number-one contender after Cena defeated Jericho in a You're Fired match on the August 22 Raw.[citation needed] Cena held on to the WWE Championship through his feud with Angle, losing to him by disqualification[67] at Unforgiven, pinning Shawn Michaels in a triple threat match involving Angle at Taboo Tuesday, and pinning Angle at Survivor Series.[68] The feud with Angle also saw Cena add a secondary, submission based, finishing maneuver – the STFU (a stepover toehold sleeper, though named for a stepover toehold facelock) – when he was put into a triple threat submissions only match on the November 28 episode of Raw.[citation needed]
Cena facing off against Edge at a WWE house show
At New Year's Revolution, Cena participated in the main event Elimination Chamber match where he retained the WWE Championship when he last eliminated Carlito. Immediately after a bloodied Cena won, Edge made his way to the ring to cash in his Money in the Bank contract – a "guaranteed title match against the WWE Champion at a time and place of the owner's choosing". Two quick spears allowed Edge to pin Cena and win the championship.[69] Three weeks later, Cena won the championship back at the Royal Rumble.[69] After that, Cena began feuding with Triple H, in which the crowd again started booing Cena and cheering the intended villain, Triple H, after being mostly cheered the last few months.[70][71] Cena beat Triple H at WrestleMania 22 to retain the WWE Championship.[citation needed] The negative reaction towards Cena intensified when facing Rob Van Dam at One Night Stand. Taking place in front of a boisterous crowd of mostly original ECW fans at the Hammerstein Ballroom, Cena was met with raucous jeering and chants of "Fuck you, Cena", "You can't wrestle", and "Same old shit". When he began performing different moves into the match, the fans began chanting "You still suck". Cena lost the WWE Championship to Van Dam at One Night Stand after interference from Edge.[72]
Cena addressing fans at a Raw show
In July, Edge won the championship from Van Dam in a triple threat match that also involved Cena, re-igniting the feud between him and Cena from earlier in the year.[citation needed] After Edge went about retaining the title by dubious means—getting himself disqualified[citation needed] (for which championships do not change hands) and using brass knuckles[72]—he introduced his own version of Cena's "custom" title belt, this one with his logo placed on the spinner.[citation needed] Cena eventually won the championship back in a match and arena of Edge's choice: a Tables, Ladders and Chairs match at Unforgiven at the Air Canada Centre in Edge's hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada after performing the FU on Edge through two tables off a ladder. The match had a stipulation that, had Cena lost, he would have left the Raw brand for SmackDown.[73] Cena returned his version of the spinner title belt on the next night's Raw.[citation needed]
On the heels of his feud with Edge, Cena was placed in an inter-brand angle to determine the "Champion of Champions" – or which was the most dominant champion in WWE's three brands. Cena, the World Heavyweight Champion King Booker, and the ECW World Champion Big Show engaged in a mini-feud leading to a triple threat match at Cyber Sunday, with the viewers voting on which of the three championships would be placed on the line.[citation needed] At the same time, Cena became involved in a storyline with non-wrestler Kevin Federline, when he began appearing on Raw with Johnny Nitro and Melina. After getting into a worked physical altercation with Federline on Raw,[citation needed] Federline appeared at Cyber Sunday to hit Cena with the World Heavyweight Championship during the match, helping King Booker retain his championship.[72] 2006 ended with Cena beginning a feud with the undefeated Umaga over the WWE Championship,[citation needed] while 2007 began with the end of his storyline with Kevin Federline. On the first Raw of the new year, Cena was pinned by Federline with an assist from Umaga, although later in the night he was able to get his hands on Federline performing an FU on him.[citation needed] At the pay-per-view event, New Year's Revolution, Cena defeated Umaga to end his undefeated streak and retain the WWE Championship.[74][75] At the Royal Rumble, Cena defeated Umaga in a Last Man Standing match to retain the title after Umaga was unable to get to his feet before the referee's ten count.[76]
One night after the Royal Rumble, an impromptu team of Cena and Shawn Michaels defeated Rated-RKO (Edge and Randy Orton) for the World Tag Team Championship, making Cena a double champion.[77] At WrestleMania 23, Cena defeated Michales to retain the WWE Championship after forcing him to submit to the STFU.[78]
The next night on Raw, Michaels turned on Cena, costing them the championship in the second of two 10-team battles royals, by throwing Cena over the top rope and eliminating the team. The Hardys (Matt and Jeff) eventually won the match and the championship.[79] For the rest of the month, Cena feuded with Michaels, Orton, and Edge until The Great Khali declared his intentions to challenge for Cena's championship attacking and "laying out" all three of the top contenders[citation needed] before assaulting Cena himself and stealing the physical title belt.[citation needed] For the next two months, Cena feuded with Khali over the championship, eventually becoming the first person in WWE to defeat him by submission at Judgment Day[80] and then by pinfall at One Night Stand.[81] Later that summer, Randy Orton was named the number one contender for the WWE Championship, starting a feud between the two.[citation needed] Leading up to SummerSlam, Orton delivered a number of sneak-attacks, performing three RKOs to Cena, who in the actual match retained the championship.[82] A rematch between the two occurred at Unforgiven, with Orton winning by disqualification after Cena ignored the referee's instructions and continued to beat on him in the corner.[83]
During a match with Mr. Kennedy on the October 1, 2007 episode of Raw, Cena suffered a legitimate torn pectoral muscle while executing a hip toss.[84] Though finishing the match and taking part in the scripted attack by Orton after the match, surgery the following day found that his pectoralis major muscle was torn completely from the bone, estimating at the time to require seven months to a year of rehabilitation.[85][86] As a result, Cena was stripped of the title by Mr. McMahon on the next night's episode of ECW,[87] ending what was the longest WWE Championship reign in over 19 years.[88] Cena's surgery was performed by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.[84] Two weeks later in a video update on WWE.com, Dr. Andrews and Cena's physical trainer both said that he was several weeks ahead of where he was expected to be in his rehabilitation at that time.[89] Despite his injury, Cena attended the annual WWE's Tribute to the Troops show filmed at Camp Speicher in Tikrit, Iraq on December 7, and aired on December 24.[citation needed]
World Heavyweight Champion (2008–2010)
Cena as one half of the World Tag Team Champions
Cena made a surprise return as the final participant of the Royal Rumble match, winning the match, and the traditional WrestleMania title shot, by last eliminating Triple H.[citation needed] Instead of waiting until WrestleMania, the title shot was cashed in against then WWE Champion Randy Orton at February's No Way Out pay-per-view[citation needed] in a match where Cena won by disqualification, resulting in him not getting the championship.[citation needed] The following night on Raw, Cena was placed back into WrestleMania XXIV's WWE Championship match by defeating Orton in a non-title match with Triple H as special guest referee, making it a triple threat match between the three men, during which he was pinned by Orton.[citation needed] At Backlash, Cena failed to regain the title in a fatal four-way elimination match, in which he was eliminated by Orton.[90] During that match, Cena eliminated JBL, renewing their feud from 2005.[90] Cena defeated JBL at Judgment Day and then at One Night Stand in a First Blood match.[91][92] However, JBL defeated him in a New York City Parking Lot Brawl at The Great American Bash in July to end the feud.[93] Cena also failed to regain the WWE Championship from Triple H at Night of Champions.[94]
On the August 4 episode of Raw, Cena became a World Tag Team Champion for a second time, teaming with Batista to defeat Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase,[95] but failed to retain the championship the following week against the former champions.[96] Cena lost to Batista at SummerSlam.[97] Shortly after, Cena was named one of four contenders for CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship in the Championship Scramble match at Unforgiven, but he was replaced by Rey Mysterio after suffering a herniated disc in his neck, which required surgery.[98] Cena underwent successful surgery to repair the injury.[99][100]
Cena made his in-ring return at the November's Survivor Series pay-per-view event, defeating Chris Jericho to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.[101] The two continued their rivalry up to Armageddon, where Cena retained his championship.[102] After defeating JBL at the Royal Rumble, Cena lost the championship at No Way Out to Edge, who attacked Kofi Kingston and took his place in the Elimination Chamber match.[103] Cena received his rematch for the title at WrestleMania XXV in a triple threat match also involving Big Show, which Cena won.[104]
Cena lost the championship back to Edge in a Last Man Standing match at Backlash after interference from Big Show, who chokeslammed Cena through a big spotlight.[105] This resulted in Cena beginning a feud with Big Show in which Cena defeated Big Show at Judgment Day[106] and at Extreme Rules in a submission match by applying the STFU.[107] During Cena's feud with Big Show, The Miz challenged him to a match on the April 27 episode of Raw, but as Cena was out due to injury, Miz claimed an unofficial win via forfeit and continued to do this over the following weeks, until Cena defeated him in a singles match at The Bash.[108]
Cena as WWE Champion in 2010
At Night of Champions in July, Cena challenged for the WWE Championship in a triple threat match against Triple H and defending champion Randy Orton (a rematch from WrestleMania XXIV), but was pinned by Orton after interference from Orton's protèges Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase.[109] The next night, Cena won a beat the clock challenge to earn another shot at the WWE Championship at SummerSlam, where Orton would use several underhanded tactics to retain his title. A month later at Breaking Point, Cena defeated Orton in an "I Quit" match to win his fourth WWE Championship, but[110] lost the title back to Orton in a Hell in a Cell match at the eponymous event.[111] Three weeks later at Bragging Rights, Cena defeated Orton in a 60-minute Iron Man match to regain the championship.[112] Cena successfully defended the title against both Triple H and Shawn Michaels in a triple threat match at Survivor Series, but lost it to Sheamus at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in a tables match. The next night, Cena competed in a tournament to crown the 2009 Superstar of the Year, defeating CM Punk in the first round and Orton in the finals later that night to win the honor. He would get his rematch for the WWE Championship against Sheamus on the final Raw of 2009, where he won by disqualification, but did not win the championship.[113] While Cena regained the title at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in an Elimination Chamber match, his reign was cut short after Mr. McMahon immediately made him defend the title against Batista, who won the title.[114] Cena defeated Batista at WrestleMania XXVI for the title[115][116] and successfully defended it at Extreme Rules, in a Last Man Standing rematch.[117] Cena faced Batista one more time, winning an "I Quit" match at Over the Limit, thus ending their long-time feud.[118]
Storyline with The Nexus (2010–2011)
See also: The Nexus
Cena being forced to read a public address by Wade Barrett while a member of The Nexus
On the June 7 episode of Raw, Cena was suddenly thrust into a new storyline when during his main event match against CM Punk, he was attacked by all eight former contestants of the first season of NXT, with Wade Barrett as their leader. Punk, his follower Luke Gallows and other personnel around the ring were attacked as well, but Cena took the worst of the attack and was carried out on a stretcher. This group later referred to itself as The Nexus.[119] At Fatal 4-Way, Cena lost the WWE Championship to Sheamus in a fatal four-way match involving Edge and Randy Orton after The Nexus interfered.[120] Cena lost to Sheamus in a steel cage match at Money in the Bank after The Nexus again interfered.[121] In retaliation to The Nexus, Cena formed an alliance with Edge, Chris Jericho, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali and Bret Hart. They defeated The Nexus at SummerSlam with help from the returning Daniel Bryan, a former member of Nexus, who replaced Khali after he was injured.[122]
Hoping to end The Nexus, Cena challenged Wade Barrett to a match at Hell in a Cell with the stipulations that if he were to lose, he would join The Nexus. After Barrett defeated Cena, he joined The Nexus,[123] and was forced by the anonymous Raw general manager to follow their orders or be fired. Cena and fellow Nexus member David Otunga defeated Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre to win the WWE Tag Team Championship at Bragging Rights.[124] Later that night, he was forced to help Barrett defeat Orton in a WWE Championship match, giving Barrett the disqualification win, but not the title.[124] The following night on Raw, Cena and Otunga lost the WWE Tag Team Championship to fellow Nexus members Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel, when Barrett ordered Otunga to lay down and lose the title.[125] At Survivor Series, Cena officiated a match for the WWE Championship between Wade Barrett and Randy Orton. Per stipulation, if Barrett didn't win the championship, Cena would be "fired" from the WWE.
Orton defeated Barrett to retain the title, thus terminating Cena's WWE contract (kayfabe).[126] The following night on Raw, Cena gave a farewell speech, before costing Wade Barrett the WWE Championship by interfering in his rematch with Randy Orton.[127] A week later, Cena invaded Raw, first as a spectator, but then attacked members of Nexus, explaining that he would still take down Nexus one by one, despite not having a job in the WWE anymore.[128] On the December 13 episode of Raw, Cena was rehired by Barrett in exchange that he would face him on December 19 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in a chairs match,[129] which Cena won.[130]
Cena at Tribute to the Troops in 2010
On the December 27 episode of Raw, The Nexus, minus Barrett, announced they were under new management and offered to bury the hatchet with Cena, to which he refused. The Nexus attacked Cena, leaving a Nexus armband in the ring during the process. As the group retreated, CM Punk, who had attacked Cena with a steel chair twice the week before, came to the ring to apparently attack Cena, but instead put on the armband left behind to symbolically announce his allegiance with The Nexus, becoming leader the following week by manipulating Barrett's banishment from the group.[131][132] On the January 17, 2011 episode of Raw, Cena returned and faced Punk in a match, which ended in a no contest after Cena was attacked by the debuting Mason Ryan, who later joined The Nexus.[133] Cena competed in the 2011 Royal Rumble match at the pay-per-view, which saw Cena eliminate most of the Nexus members, ending his feud with the stable.
Feud with The Rock (2011–2013)
Cena and The Rock agree to face each other at WrestleMania XXVIII
During the same match at the Royal Rumble, Cena made it to the final five before being eliminated by then WWE Champion The Miz, who was not part of the match.[134] Cena won the Elimination Chamber match at the titular pay-per-view to face Miz at WrestleMania XXVII for the WWE Championship.[135][136]
On the February 21 episode of Raw, Cena replied in rap form to comments made by The Rock the previous week, as The Rock returned as the announced guest host of WrestleMania. That night, Cena was placed into a WWE Tag Team Championship match, with him teaming with The Miz, where they defeated Justin Gabriel and Heath Slater to become WWE Tag Team Champions. However, their rematch clause was immediately invoked and they won the title back after The Miz attacked Cena.[137] After weeks of insults, Cena and Rock finally met, where, after a verbal confrontation, and brief attack by The Miz and Alex Riley, Cena attacked The Rock with the Attitude Adjustment.[138] At WrestleMania XXVII, Cena and Miz fought to a double countout, but The Rock restarted the match and performed a Rock Bottom on Cena, allowing The Miz to retain the title.[139] The next night on Raw, Cena, in response to The Rock "screwing" him out of the title, agreed to face him in the main event of WrestleMania XXVIII, making it the first match to be set up for WrestleMania one year in advance.[140] At Extreme Rules, Cena defeated The Miz and John Morrison to become WWE Champion.[141] Cena went on to successfully defend the title against The Miz at Over the Limit in an "I Quit" match[142] and R-Truth at Capitol Punishment.[143] Cena then began a feud with CM Punk, who was leaving the company at Money in the Bank, where he defeated Cena to win the WWE Championship, and left the company with the title.[144][145][146] After Rey Mysterio won the WWE Championship in a tournament, Cena challenged and defeated him later that night to become WWE Champion for a record-breaking ninth time,[147] only to be interrupted by CM Punk, who also claimed to be champion.

Despite exchanging insults in the following weeks, they defeated Miz and Truth, though Rock closed the show by giving Cena a Rock Bottom.[152]

Cena then began a feud with Kane,[153] who cited his disgust for Cena's "Rise Above Hate" slogan and claimed that Cena would need to embrace the hate in order to defeat The Rock at WrestleMania.[154] Cena fought Kane to a draw at the Royal Rumble,[155] and then defeated him in an Ambulance match at Elimination Chamber.[156] At WrestleMania XXVIII, Cena faced The Rock in the main event match which had been building for a year and was billed as "once in a lifetime". The match ended when Cena attempted the People's Elbow on The Rock, and Rock countered with a Rock Bottom for the pinfall.[157] The following night on Raw, Cena accepted his loss and invited The Rock to the ring so that he could congratulate him. However, Cena's call was answered instead by the returning Brock Lesnar, who then attacked Cena with an F-5.[158][159] This resulted in Cena feuding with the Raw general manager John Laurinaitis, who revealed that he signed Lesnar to bring "legitimacy" to WWE and for Lesnar to become its "new face".[160][161] At Extreme Rules, Cena defeated Lesnar in an Extreme Rules match.[162] His feud with Laurinaitis escalated after Big Show cost Cena a match against him at Over the Limit,[163] but Laurinaitis was fired at No Way Out after Cena defeated Big Show in a match with both of their jobs on the line.[164][165] Cena won the Money in the Bank ladder match at the eponymous pay-per-view, earning a contract for a shot at the WWE Championship anytime within a year.[166] At Raw 1000, Cena cashed in his contract on CM Punk, and won the match by disqualification after Big Show interfered, becoming the first person to cash in a Money in the Bank contract and not win a title.[167][168][169] Cena's feud with Punk continued into SummerSlam,[170] where Punk defeated Cena and Big Show to retain the title,[171] and at Night of Champions, where they fought to a draw.[172] After being sidelined with a legitimate arm injury,[173][174] Cena returned at Survivor Series to be pinned by Punk in a match which also featured Ryback.[175][176] Cena then feuded with Dolph Ziggler over an alleged relationship with AJ Lee and at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, lost to him in a ladder match for his Money in the Bank contract, after AJ turned on Cena.[177] The following night on Raw, Cena teamed with Vickie Guerrero to face Ziggler and AJ in a mixed tag team match which ended in a disqualification after Cena was attacked by the debuting Big E Langston.[178] Cena then defeated Ziggler on the January 7, 2013 episode of Raw in a singles match, and again in a steel cage match the following week, despite interference from AJ and Langston in both matches to end the feud.[179][180]

I know how John Cena feuds tend to work. He loses one match, then wins the next two or three. Look at Rusev and Bray Wyatt as examples. These feuds don't really help talent. They're established... as definitively below Cena. This is a running theme in WWE booking. Owens is... worse off than he would have been if he had never had the second and third matches with Cena.
— Pro Wrestling Dot Net analyst Will Pruett in July 2015[208]
After Elimination Chamber, Bray Wyatt accepted Cena's challenge for a WrestleMania match,[209] Wyatt wanted to prove that Cena's heroic act was a facade characteristic of "this era of lies" while further wanting to turn Cena into a "monster".[210][211] At WrestleMania XXX, Cena overcame interference from Luke Harper and Erick Rowan to defeat Wyatt.[212] The feud continued after WrestleMania based on the story that Wyatt was capturing Cena's fanbase, which was exemplified by Wyatt leading a children's choir to the ring on the April 28 episode of Raw, with the children later putting on sheep masks.[213] At Extreme Rules, Wyatt defeated Cena in a steel cage match, after repeated interference from the rest of the Wyatt Family members and a demonic child.[214] Cena's feud with Wyatt continued with a Last Man Standing match being set up for Payback, where Cena buried Wyatt under multiple equipment cases to win the match.[215]

On October 27 episode of Raw, Cena rejected The Authority's offer to join forces, which resulted in a 5-on-5 Survivor Series elimination tag match between Team Cena and Team Authority at Survivor Series.[223] Cena's team consisted of Dolph Ziggler, Big Show, Erick Rowan and Ryback; at Survivor Series, Show turned on Cena, causing Cena's elimination, but Ziggler eventually won the match for Team Cena with the interfering Sting's help. Thus as per the match stipulation, The Authority were stripped from power and only Cena could bring them back.[224] At TLC: Tables, Ladders, Chairs & Stairs, Cena defeated Rollins in a tables match to retain his WWE World Heavyweight Championship No. 1 contender status. It was then announced that Cena would face Lesnar for the title at the Royal Rumble.[225] On the December 29 episode of Raw, Rollins and Big Show held guest host Edge hostage, forcing Cena to reinstate The Authority.[226] On the January 5 episode of Raw, The Authority added Rollins to the title match at the Royal Rumble involving Cena and Lesnar, and Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan were "fired" for joining Team Cena at Survivor Series.[227] On the January 19 episode of Raw, Cena won a handicap match against Rollins, Big Show and Kane to retain his title shot at the Royal Rumble and win back the jobs of Ziggler, Ryback and Rowan.[228] At the Royal Rumble, Cena was unsuccessful in capturing the title.[229]

Cena after defeating Rusev for the United States Championship at WrestleMania 31
Following the Royal Rumble, Cena began feuding with then United States Champion Rusev and at Fastlane, Rusev defeated Cena to reatin his title after Cena passed out to his submission, the Accolade, after Rusev hit Cena with a low blow following a distraction from his manager Lana.[230] In the following weeks, Cena challenged Rusev to a rematch, which was declined, and Stephanie McMahon decreed that Cena would not compete at WrestleMania 31 unless Rusev agreed to a rematch.[231] On the March 9 episode of Raw, Cena attacked Rusev, refusing to release the STF submission hold, causing Lana to grant Cena the match.[232] Cena defeated Rusev at WrestleMania to win the United States Championship for the fourth time, marking Rusev's first pinfall loss in the main roster.[233] The following night on Raw, Cena announced that he would issue an open challenge each week on Raw with his United States Championship on the line—he successfully defended his title against the likes of Dean Ambrose,[234] Stardust, Bad News Barrett, Kane, Sami Zayn, Neville, Zack Ryder and Cesaro.[citation needed] Cena retained his title against Rusev in a Russian Chain match at Extreme Rules and a "I Quit" match at Payback.[235][236] The following night on Raw, Cena was attacked by then NXT Champion Kevin Owens, setting up a Champion vs. Champion match at Elimination Chamber, where Owens defeated Cena, but Cena defeated Owens in a rematch at Money in the Bank.[237][238] Cena defeated Owens at Battleground to retain the United States Championship and end the feud.[239] Cena then resumed his feud with then WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins, with Rollins refusing Cena's challenges for the title. On the July 27 episode of Raw, The Authority forced Cena to defend the United States Championship against Rollins. Cena defeated Rollins despite suffering a legitimate broken nose during the match.[240][241] Cena then faced Rollins in a "Winner Takes All" match at SummerSlam, for both the WWE World Heavyweight Championship and the United States Championship, which Cena lost after guest host Jon Stewart, appearing to side with Cena, instead attacked him with a steel chair, ending Cena's reign at 147 days.[242]
Cena defeated Rollins to win the title for the fifth time at Night of Champions, a record in the WWE ownership era of the title.[243] Cena then retained his title against Rollins the following night on Raw and then in a steel cage match at WWE Live from Madison Square Garden,[244] while also restarting his open challenges and successfully defend the title against New Day members Xavier Woods[245] and Big E[246] and Dolph Ziggler.[247] At Hell in a Cell, Cena lost the title to the returning Alberto Del Rio in an open challenge.[248] After a hiatus, Cena returned on the December 28 episode of Raw, defeating Del Rio by disqualification in a rematch for the title.[249] On the January 7, 2016 episode of SmackDown taped on January 5, Cena aided Kalisto at ringside to victory against Del Rio.[250] That same day, he underwent surgery on a shoulder injury, which would keep him out of action for an undisclosed amount of time.[251]
Record-tying world championship reign (2016–2017)
Cena returned at WrestleMania 32, helping The Rock fend off The Wyatt Family.[252] Cena then made his full return on the Memorial Day edition of Raw on May 30, four months earlier than had been expected for his type of injury.[253] He was confronted by AJ Styles, only to be betrayed by Styles, who joined his former Club teammates Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson in attacking Cena.[254] This set up a match between Cena and Styles at Money in the Bank,[255] which Styles won with interference from Gallows and Anderson.[256] On the July 4 episode of Raw, Cena was again attacked by the Club, but was saved by Enzo Amore and Big Cass. Subsequently, a six-man tag team match was made between the two teams for Battleground.[257] On July 19 at the 2016 WWE draft, Cena was drafted to the SmackDown brand, while also defeating Club member Luke Gallows via pinfall in a singles contest.[258] Cena, Amore and Cass defeated The Club at Battleground after Cena pinned Styles.[259] Cena continued his feud with Styles,[260] which resulted in him losing their match at SummerSlam on August 21.[261][262] With Styles later winning the renamed WWE World Championship, Cena challenged him and previous champion Dean Ambrose in a triple threat match for the title at No Mercy.[263] He lost the match after being pinned by Styles, which came after Ambrose and Cena simultaneously made Styles submit, therefore restarting the match.[264] Cena then took a hiatus from WWE to film American Grit season 2.
On the December 13 episode of SmackDown Live it was announced that Cena would be returning on the December 27 episode.[265] On his return, he addressed rumors about him during the past year, stated that the New Era was "B.S.", and then challenged the winner of that night's championship match, which was AJ Styles, for the again renamed WWE Championship at the Royal Rumble.[266] On January 29, 2017, Cena defeated Styles at the Royal Rumble to tie Ric Flair for the most world title reigns at 16,[267] although Flair has actually won the world title several more times with the number 16 having been called "WWE mythology".[268] Cena then entered the Elimination Chamber match as WWE Champion.[269] He was eliminated fourth after a Sister Abigail from Bray Wyatt, who went on to win the championship.[270] Two nights later on SmackDown Live, Cena lost a triple threat match against Wyatt for the championship in a match also featuring Styles.[271] Cena then began a feud with The Miz; after Cena eliminated Miz from both the Elimination Chamber and a 10-man battle royal to face Wyatt at WrestleMania 33, Miz came back in and eliminated Cena.[272] The next week, Miz accused Cena of being a hypocrite due to his movie commitments, while Cena accused Miz of stealing other wrestlers' moves and personalities.

Cena proposed marriage to Bella after the match and she accepted.[275] Cena then went on a hiatus from WWE to film season 2 of American Grit.
Free agent (2017–present)
Cena in March 2018
In July 2017, WWE dubbed Cena a "free agent" during the Superstar Shake-up, meaning he would work for both the Raw and SmackDown brands.[276] Following his return he quickly re-entered a feud with former rival Rusev, who Cena would challenge to a flag match with Rusev later accepting the challenge at Battleground, which Cena won.[277] On the August 1 episode of SmackDown Live, Cena faced Shinsuke Nakamura in the main event with the winner going on to face Jinder Mahal in the main event of SummerSlam with Mahal's WWE Championship on the line. Shinsuke would claim the upset victory over Cena with Cena giving Nakamura his seal of approval after the contest.[278]
Following this, Cena entered a feud with Baron Corbin. After defeating Jinder Mahal via disqualification on the August 15 episode of SmackDown, Corbin would attempt to cash-in his Money in the Bank briefcase but after interference from Cena, he was unsuccessful. This led to a match between Cena and Corbin at SummerSlam which saw Cena walk away with the pinfall victory, thus ending the fued.[279] After SummerSlam, Cena entered into a feud against Roman Reigns, with a match being set for No Mercy.[280] In the weeks leading up to the match, the two cut various worked shoot promos on each other, going back and forth about what they perceive the other to be and why the crowds react the way they do. Over the course of the rivalry, the duo were also forced to team together in consecutive tag team matches defeating the likes of Samoa Joe and The Miz (on the August 21 episode of RAW) and The Club (on the August 28 episode of RAW). At No Mercy, Reigns defeated Cena after kicking out of a 'Super AA' and delivering a single spear.[281] Despite sparking rumors of his retirement after the match by endorsing Reigns, taking a bow, thanking the crowd, and waving goodbye to them before leaving,[282] Cena returned to SmackDown the next month after Commissioner Shane McMahon named him the final member of Team SmackDown for the men's 5-on-5 elimination match against Team Raw at Survivor Series; at the event, Cena was eliminated by Kurt Angle and Team SmackDown was later defeated.[283]
From January until April 2018, Cena was involved in a storyline where he was trying to find his "path to WrestleMania". After he lost the Royal Rumble and the namesake Elimination Chamber match to determine the next number one contender for the Universal Championship at Elimination Chamber, as well as a six-pack challenge at Fastlane for the WWE Championship, Cena issued a challenge to The Undertaker for a match at WrestleMania 34. He repeated his challenge over the next several weeks, only to receive no answer from Undertaker. On the March 19 episode of RAW, after calling out The Undertaker yet again, Cena was confronted and choke slammed by Undertaker's storyline brother Kane. This led to a no-disqualification match between the two a week later which Cena won. After the match, Cena called out The Undertaker again to no response. At WrestleMania 34, after Cena drove off Elias in a confrontation, Undertaker returned and accepted Cena's challenge, leading to a shocked Cena losing to Undertaker in just a few minutes. Three weeks later, at the Greatest Royal Rumble, Cena defeated Triple H.[284] After the match he thanked the crowd for sticking by him during a tough period, referencing his loss to Undertaker at WrestleMania and his recent breakup with Nikki Bella. He then went on hiatus to focus on his acting and television career.[citation needed]
On August 10, it was announced Cena would face Kevin Owens at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia. On August 20, the match was later changed to a tag team contest with Cena teaming with former rival Bobby Lashley to take on the team of Owens and Elias. On September 2, Cena debuted a new finishing move whilst teaming with Lashley and Finn Balor against Elias, Jinder Mahal and Baron Corbin at a live event in Shanghai. Having hyped the match on Twitter over the weeks leading to the event, Cena would declare he was set to unveil his 'sixth move of doom' - a reference to the criticism he has received for the perceived limitations in his move set - the move would end up being a variation of a lightning fist, which he used to pin Elias.[285] At Super Show-Down, Cena and Lashley defeated Owens and Elias, with Cena once again using Lighting Fist as his finishing move.[citation needed] On the October 8 episode of Raw, it was announced that Cena would represent Raw in the interbrand eight-man WWE World Cup Tournament at WWE Crown Jewel. On SmackDown 1000, Cena appeared via satellite where he reminisced on his debut, stating he regretted slapping Kurt Angle but never regretted starting out his career on SmackDown.
Professional wrestling style and persona
Cena performing his finishing move, a fireman's carry takeover known as the Attitude Adjustment (formerly called the F-U) on Kane
Cena's original gimmick portrayed that of a white rapper who wore jerseys, backwards hats, and a chain with a padlock around his neck, was known as the "Doctor of Thuganomics". First as "The Prototype", and later under his real name, Cena sometimes used underhanded tactics to score victories, such as using his chain as a weapon behind the referee's back.[286] Cena often rapped before his matches, insulting his opponents, events that happened in the media, and even the crowd. Cena also regularly performed "rap battles", where he and his opponent took turns rapping on each other. Cena reverted to this persona once during his feud with The Rock. In 2005, shortly after his first debut film, The Marine, his wrestling character was shifted from a rapper to that of a young military upstart.[citation needed] After WWE's change from TV-14 to TV-PG in mid 2008, the name of his finishing move, the F-U, was changed to the Attitude Adjustment in order to fit with WWE's new policies.[287] During his career, he is known for ending his matches with a sequence of moves, dubbed "The Five Moves of Doom". The moves typically go in the order as follows: flying shoulder block, sit-out hip toss, side-release spinout powerbomb, Five Knuckle Shuffle and Attitude Adjustment.[288] During the summer of 2018, Cena hyped a sixth move. On September 1, Cena executed the move, known as the "Lightning Fist", a high-impact left handed jab to the opponent.[289]
Cena has portrayed a heroic character throughout his WWE career, with the exception of a villainous run in 2002–2003. Cena's signature ring gear includes jean shorts, sneakers, wristbands, and armbands. Cena also wears a variety of T-shirts and baseball caps, which commonly include one of his catchphrases such as "never give up", "you can't see me", "hustle, loyalty, respect" and "respect. Earn it".[290]
Cena has a history of returning from actual (and kayfabe) injuries much sooner than expected. In 2016, ESPN reporter David Shoemaker said, "Never underestimate Cena's recuperative abilities. He's somewhere on the recovery scale between German platelet-rich plasma therapy and Deadpool."[291] Big Show stated he felt the most stable to be lifted by Cena, despite Cena being over 200 lbs lighter and almost a foot shorter, a testament to Cena's functional strength.[292]
Fashion
During his WWE career, Cena's attire has attempted to reflect the most current fashions and stylings within the hip hop culture that his character represents. Cena started out wearing "throwback jerseys" until WWE produced specific Cena merchandise which he began wearing.[citation needed] While Cena was a member of the SmackDown brand, one of his WWE produced T-shirts bore the suggestive spoonerism "Ruck Fules". Whenever it appeared on television the image was censored, not by the network, but by WWE to sell more shirts under the premise that it was "too hot for TV".[293] He also wore a chain with a large padlock, occasionally using it as a weapon,[citation needed] until WrestleMania 21, when it was replaced with a chromed and diamond studded "Chain Gang" spinner medallion – reminiscent of the ones worn by members of G-Unit – matching his spinner title belt.
Around the time The Marine was released, Cena began wearing attire more military related, including camouflage shorts, dog tags, a Marine soldier cap, and a WWE produced shirt with the legend "Chain Gang Assault Battalion".[294] Shortly after WrestleMania 23, when promotion for The Marine ended, the military attire diminished and was replaced with apparel bearing his new slogan "American Made Muscle" along with denim shorts, not seen since he was a member of the SmackDown roster.[295] He then wore shirts that promoted Cenation and his trademark line "You Can't See Me".
Legacy
Cena has been named as the greatest professional wrestler of all time by peers Kurt Angle[296] and John "Bradshaw" Layfield, as well as by veteran industry personality Paul Heyman.[297]

Television
In 2001, between his training in Ultimate Pro Wrestling and Ohio Valley Wrestling,[30] Cena was involved in the UPN produced reality show Manhunt, in which he portrayed Big Tim Kingman, leader of the group of bounty hunters who chased down the contestants who acted as fugitives. The show, however, was mired in controversy when it was alleged that the portions of the show were rigged to eliminate certain players, scenes were re-shot or staged to enhance drama and contestants read from scripts.[318][319][320]
Cena was featured on the ABC reality series Fast Cars and Superstars: The Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race, which aired in June 2007,[321] making it to the final round before being eliminated on June 24, placing third in the competition overall.[322]
In 2007, Cena was interviewed for the CNN Special Investigations Unit documentary, Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling, which focused on steroid and drug use in professional wrestling. When asked if he had taken steroids he was heard to reply, "I can't tell you that I haven't, but you will never prove that I have".[323] The day after the documentary aired, WWE accused CNN of taking Cena's comments out of context to present a biased point of view, backing up their claim by posting an unedited video of Cena answering the same question – filmed by WWE cameras from another angle – in which he is heard beginning the same statement with "absolutely not".[324] A text interview on the website with Cena later had him saying the news outlet should apologize for misrepresenting him,[325] which CNN refused, saying they felt the true answer to the question began with the phrase "my answer to that question".[326] However, they did edit the documentary on subsequent airings to include the "absolutely not".[326]
Cena hosted the Australian Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards with Natalie Bassingthwaighte on October 11, 2008 in Melbourne.[327]
