John Cena is the greatest and the most popular WWE Superstar of all time. He is a face that fans across the globe recognize and is a legitimate hero for everyone. However, Cena left his comfort zone of being a hero for the people, and joined the dark side in his upcoming film, F9. John Cena WWE [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200814143625/1405276-1905719716.jpg]HOLLYWOOD, CALIFORNIA – DECEMBER 09: John Cena attends Premiere Of Paramount Pictures’ “Bumblebee” at TCL Chinese Theatre on December 09, 2018 in Hollywood, California. Presley Ann/Getty Images/AFP JOHN CENA REVEALS HOW F9 ROLE CAME TO BE During a recent appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon, John Cena shared how he got cast in F9 as Vin Diesel’s brother, Jacob. He revealed he met Vin Diesel in Los Angeles and hung out with him, talking about his future plans and what not. The two talked about everything but about working together in Fast and Furious. Although a few days later, Cena got a pleasant surprise. He revealed he got a call from the production and they asked him to be in F9. However, he still didn’t know what his role in the film would be. Cena further added that it was Vin Diesel himself who called him and revealed his role to him, which Cena compares to debuting in the main event of WrestleMania. He said, “He [Vin Diesel] called me later on and said actually what I was doing. Which is, being the brother of Dom Toretto. If you’re a fan of the universe, that’s like your first match being in the main event of WrestleMania. So I was really really excited about that.” Watch this Story: WWE Superstars Who Got Caught Cheating Red-Handed [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/wwe-news-raw-smackdown-wwe-superstars-who-got-caught-cheating-red-handed-edge-triple-h-daniel-bryan-big-show-eddie-guerrero/]. WHAT VIN DIESEL MEANS TO THE 16-TIME WWE WORLD CHAMPION Jimmy Fallon then asked Cena if he bonded with Vin Diesel. The ‘Champ [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena/]‘ immediately said, “We did. He’s a wonderful human being. And man, his decision has changed my life. Not only that, the camaraderie and the family on the ‘Fast’ set is real. Everybody spends time with everybody.” [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/John-Cena-with-Vin-Diesel-and-F9-Team.jpg] Cena continued, “They’ve become like a family and it was so welcoming and awesome. There was some good quality bonding.” It’s great to see John Cena break the ice and become a part of such a wonderful film franchise. We’re sure Vin Diesel must’ve loved John Cena’s personality when they met. And hence, he offered him such an important role. F9 releases in theatres this Friday, so don’t forget to check it out!

No other wrestler in the world has polarized opinions as much as John Cena. For some, he's just a pretty face who had the backing of the management and became "Super Cena." For many others, he is the champ who ran the camp for WWE when there were no legitimate stars.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>John Cena’s early life</b></h2>
Born on April 23, 1977, in West Newbury, Massachusetts. John Cena was born to John Cena Sr. and Carol Cena. The American star inherits Italian heritage from his father while his mother is of French-Canadian and English descent. Cena is the second eldest in his household as he has an elder brother, Stephan Cena, along with three younger siblings including Dan Cena, Matt Cena, and Sean Cena. John Cena has a degree in exercise psychology and body movement.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>John Cena’s wife and children</b></h2>
The wrestler's personal life made headlines in 2009 when he tied the knot with an American real estate agent Elizabeth Huberdeau. However, their love did not withstand the test of time and the couple officially parted ways via a high-profile divorce in July 2012. Cena found love again in Shay Shariatzadeh and the couple got married on October 20, 2022. He doesn't have any children of his own as of now.

<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>John Cena’s net worth 2024</b></h2>
John Cena enjoys a net worth of $80 million as per Celebrity Net Worth. The contributor to his staggering wealth is his contract with the World Wrestling Diversion, which fetches him a whopping $10 million every year. He also has endorsements with brands like Capri Sun, Fruity Pebbles, Hefty, Gillette, Gold’s Gym, etc.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>John Cena’s career timeline</b></h2>
Cena made his debut with the WWF on October 10, 2000, with a discarded robot-human character called The Prototype. Despite this horrible start, he went on to become one of the most successful WWE stars of all time.

His incredible records include 16 reigns with the WWE World Heavyweight Championship (the top belt in WWE in its various forms, including the WWE Championship and the World Heavyweight Championship). The only other person with the same number of title reigns is the Nature Boy Ric Flair.

Besides this, he is also a five-time United States Champion. Although Cena is not much known for his tag team skills, he is a four-time Tag Team Champion in the WWE. All four times, he won this with different people, namely Batista, Shawn Michaels, David Otunga, and The Miz.

His latest Wrestlemania appearance saw him lose to Austin Theory as the latter retained his United States Title at WWE WrestleMania 39. The only championship lacking in his record is the Intercontinental Championship, stopping him from being a Grand Slam Champion.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>John Cena’s partnerships and endorsements</b></h2>
