John Cena is a PG period megastar, and he was considered like this from the beginning of his career. Many people believed in him from the start of his career. It was predicted that he would be the company’s next breakthrough star. This came true when he became the WWE Champion a total of sixteen times.

Paul Heyman is a huge figure in the wrestling world, and he was also behind choosing John Cena from OVW. He was the SmackDown commissioner at the moment, and it was his responsibility to identify new stars for the company that would do some good for the organization in the future.

Heyman chose John Cena, and the reason for this is disclosed in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter. He saw Cena as the next breakout star and believed he will be the wrestling industry’s next Sting. This was a tremendous deal at the time, as any wrestler dreamed to be compared to a legend like Sting.

Dave Meltzer’s report stated, “Paul Heyman plucked him from OVW when he was in control of SmackDown because he saw the same future superstar and ‘next Sting’ label that some, including us, had given him. It probably was a little early in the sense, while Heyman debuted him with Kurt Angle in a now-famous television debut segment.”
