John Cena was undoubtedly the face of the WWE for the better part of this century. Having made his debut in 2002, he was always destined for greatness. Nevertheless, the 16-time World Champion’s journey to the top was not at all an easy one.
While making a guest appearance on Kevin Hart’s talk show, Hart to Heart, John Cena revealed his road to becoming a professional wrestler. First of all, the legend claimed his existence was an accident. “I didn’t even know that wrestling was a career option,” added John.
Moreover, the Franchise Player initially went to Springfield College to obtain a degree in kinesiology and exercise. He ended up failing in his pursuit of any job despite that. “It got to the point where I was living in my car; I took the California Patrol exam to become a cop and failed; even every avenue of fitness failed,” said Cena.
In addition to this, he could eat pizza every night only because it was free and he had to finish it. The Cenation leader disclosed that doing all of this was a choice. He always had the option of going back to live with his parents in Newbury, Massachusetts. John Cena is highly regarded as a role model by many fans due to stories such as this. Clearly, his “Never Give Up” slogan is a word that he lives by.
John Cena on why he hasn’t main evented WrestleMania since 2013
John Cena has headlined plenty of pay-per-views and special events. However, he has only main evented WrestleMania five times in his illustrious career. This can be viewed as a low number for someone who was the face of the company for more than a decade.
Cena’s WWE Championship match against The Rock at WrestleMania 29 was his last main event. On the Notsam Wrestling podcast, the 16-time World Champion revealed it didn’t matter to him as he was always open to working with anyone. Whether it was a squash match against The Undertaker or the Firefly Funhouse match, he never complained.
“You don’t need to be the last match, I have had a hell of a career even after MetLife,” assured Cena. Evidently, this fact hasn’t put a dent in his career. Some might even argue that his best in-ring work came after 2013 as the legend was putting on bangers on each show against the likes of AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, and Seth Rollins.
