John Cena is currently a top name in Hollywood, having done several successful movies. In the previous year, he was a part of two huge movies i.e. F9 and The Suicide Squad. Due to his impressive performance in the latter, he got his own HBO series, The Peacemaker. 

Despite his recent success in the entertainment industry, ‘The Cenation Leader’ will always be a loyal ‘WWE guy’. Once, he shared how DC and WWE are similar in nature.

A year ago, in an interview with GQ, John Cena talked about WWE and his then-upcoming movie The Suicide Squad. Moreover, he shared about the similarity between WWE and DC.

Cena said, “The superhero universe, the DC universe, it has that universal appeal, very much like WWE. People around the world just like get it. So with the nature of the comic book, you don’t really have to read the caption of what’s going on. You can follow a comic and kind of get the story picture by picture. So it transcends language and it’s fascinating.”

WWE has always had a greater approach toward its fans, similar to the superhero movies. The storylines and characters help the fans to understand the product without much prior information. 

The Peacemaker actor has always been a loyal WWE superstar. Whenever he is out promoting any movie or other things, he makes sure to promote WWE. Cena is very much grateful to Vince McMahon and his company, which gave him fame. Similarly, DC’s Peacemaker character made him a much bigger star in Hollywood.
