During an interview with, John Cena was asked how his career in the WWE helped him gain recognition and achieve success so easily in the Hollywood industry. The mega star revealed that there were many things that were common in the two industries such made him adapt both of them early.

“What I’ve done in the WWE ring, no matter what the genre – it could be straight drama, it could be comedy, parody, huge-level action, minimal level action – always helps because if you break down what we do, we are storytellers. The character I play in Bumblebee is not an extension of who I am. I think the easiest way to transition from art form to art form is to begin with characters who are extensions of who you are.”

“The awkward comedic presence in Trainwreck is kind of an extension of who I am. The awkward dad in Blockers is kind of an extension of who I am. And the reason I was drawn to something like this, it’s the first time where it’s not, but because I spent a lifetime telling stories and I try to use my tools of storytelling in taking a little bit of a risk, I think that’s where my career in the WWE will always help me in any sort of storytelling art form outside the WWE.” – Innotech Today
