John Cena
John Felix Anthony Cena (/ˈsiːnə/ SEE-nə; born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler and actor. Signed to WWE since 2001, he is a record 17-time world champion, holding the most recognized world title reigns in the promotion's history, and is widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers in WWE of all time. Cena has also starred in numerous films and television shows, including The Marine (2006), Bumblebee (2018), and F9 (2021), as well as starring in the television series Peacemaker (2022–present) as the eponymous lead.
Originally pursuing a bodybuilding career, Cena began wrestling in 1999 and signed with WWE in 2001 to its developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). After debuting on the main roster on SmackDown! in 2002, he rose to prominence as a brash, villainous rapper before becoming the company's top heroic figure from the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s. From 2018, he began working a reduced schedule. His run as a face from 2003 to 2025 was the longest continuous portrayal of a heroic character in WWE history. Cena has headlined multiple major WWE pay-per-views, including its flagship event, WrestleMania, six times (22, 23, 27, 28, 29, and 41 – Night 2). He has held numerous championships and accomplishments, including 14 WWE Championships and 3 World Heavyweight Championships. He is also a two-time Royal Rumble and one-time Money in the Bank winner. His full-time career received mixed critical and audience reception, with praise for his character work and promotional skills but criticism for his perceived over-representation and on-screen dominance relative to other wrestlers. In contrast, his later career has been more positively received.
Outside of his wrestling career, Cena has acted in both comedies and action films, receiving praise for his roles in Trainwreck (2015), Blockers (2018), and The Suicide Squad (2021). In 2005 he released a rap album, You Can't See Me, which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. Known for his charity work, Cena has granted more than 650 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the most in the organization's history.
John Felix Anthony Cena was born in West Newbury, Massachusetts, on April 23, 1977, to Carol (née Lupien) and former Chaotic Wrestling ring announcer John Joseph Cena. He has one older brother named Dan and three younger brothers named Matt, Steve, and Sean. Their maternal grandfather was baseball player Tony Lupien, a son of businessman Ulysses J. Lupien, and the brothers are cousins of computer scientist Natalie Enright Jerger. When Cena was born, his umbilical cord was wrapped three times around his neck. A childhood fan of wrestling, he would create championship belts out of cardboard for himself and his brothers.
Cena was educated at Central Catholic High School in Lawrence, Massachusetts, before transferring to the private prep boarding school Cushing Academy in Ashburnham, Massachusetts. He then attended Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts, where he was an NCAA Division III All-American center and football team captain. After graduating in 1999 with a degree in exercise physiology and kinesiology, he pursued a bodybuilding career and worked as a limousine driver. He also worked in the store area of Gold's Gym for $6 an hour.
In 1998, Cena moved to California to train for professional wrestling at Ultimate Pro Wrestling's (UPW) Ultimate University, operated by Rick Bassman. He adopted a semi-robotic persona called The Prototype, wrestling at local events and holding the UPW Heavyweight Championship in 2000. His early career was partially featured in the Discovery Channel documentary Inside Pro Wrestling School. Cena remained with UPW until March 2001.
On October 10, 2000, Cena made his unofficial WWF in a dark match on SmackDown! as The Prototype. He signed a developmental contract in 2001 and was assigned to WWF's developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW), where he held OVW Heavyweight Championship and the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship with Rico Constantino. While competing in OVW, Cena also wrestled in WWF dark matches and house shows before being called up to the main roster in June 2002. He continued to appear in OVW until September and made a final appearance there in November under the name "Mr. P." Cena's time in OVW aligned him with Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton and Dave Bautista, collectively referred to as the "OVW 4."
Cena made his official WWE TV debut on June 27, 2002, answering Kurt Angle's open challenge on SmackDown! and declaring he possessed "ruthless aggression." He soon feuded with Chris Jericho, defeating him at Vengeance in July. After a heel turn, he began feuding with Billy Kidman and adopted a rapper persona inspired by a backstage freestyle overheard by Stephanie McMahon and Paul Heyman. Debuting the "Doctor of Thuganomics" character, Cena began performing freestyle raps in promos and wore jerseys and hats as part of his gimmick, along with the slogan "Word Life". He was briefly paired with enforcer B-2 (Bull Buchanan) and then Red Dogg until he was sent to the Raw brand in February.
