John Felix Anthony Cena Jr., better known simply as John Cena, is an American actor, rap singer, and professional wrestler employed by WWE, currently performing as a part-time free agent.
Biography[]
Cena started his heel run in October, which was shortly after his debut in June. Cena and Billy Kidman teamed together in a tag team tournament to crown the first WWE Tag Team Champions of the WWE SmackDown! brand, but lost in the first round to the team of Kurt Angle and Chris Benoit. The next week, Cena blamed Kidman for the loss and attacked him, turning heel for the first (and only) time in WWE.
On the next episode of WWE SmackDown!, Cena dressed up as Vanilla Ice and performed a freestyle rap, which had hinted at a new gimmick for the up and coming star. The next week, Cena received a new gimmick, a rapper who'd cut vulgar promos on his opponents, officially beginning his first heel gimmick.
For the first half of 2003, Cena went after the WWE Championship, which incited a rivalry with Brock Lesnar. During the feud, he created a new 'finisher', the "FU", which mocked the "F-5" that Lesnar used. He had a match with Lesnar for the belt at Backlash 2003 but lost after being hit with an F-5. At the end of the year, he became a face again after A-Train turned on him and revealed that he was the sixth man in the now-heel Lesnar's 2003 Survivor Series team, with Cena joining Kurt Angle's team in response to his betrayal.
Cena has remained a face since then. Outside of the ring, he has been accused of bad behavior by Chavo Guerrero Jr. and Tyler Reks & Ryback & Michael Tarver. He lost the title to a returning Brock Lesnar at SummerSlam 2014.
In 2019, he insulted Elias after he interrupted him, and then attacked him as his alter-ego, The Doctor of Thugonamics, proving that he's back in his villainous role once more.
In Elimination Chamber 2025, He wins the World Championship Elimination Chamber match to face Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41. Cena sells his soul and turns heel after 22 years, by joining The Rock and Travis Scott, attacking Cody Rhodes. He soon revealed his intentions to retire with the championship and "ruin" wrestling for this purpose. He would eventually win the WWE Undisputed Championship from Rhodes at WrestleMania 41 with assistance from Scott. Throughout the next four months, he would undergo feuds with Randy Orton, R-Truth, and CM Punk; as well as interfering in Jey Uso's World Heavyweight Championship match with Logan Paul, which led to a Tag Team match at Money in the Bank where he and Paul would lose to Uso and Rhodes. After Rhodes won the King of the Ring tournament at the end of the month, he automatically gained a title shot against Cena. Throughout July, Rhodes kept continuing to say that he wanted to face the "real" John Cena, and after forcing him to sign the title contract, on the SmackDown before Summerslam, Cena stated that Rhodes's actions knocked sense into him and that it was dumb for him to even allign with The Rock and Travis Scvott to begin with. After he was defeated by Rhodes in a Street Fight at SummerSlam, he embraced him which officialized his face turn. As he was thanking the fans, Brock Lesnar made a sudden return to WWE and laid Cena out with an F-5.
