Dwayne Johnson and John Cena are without a doubt the two names that come to mind when you think of the superstars with the biggest influence going beyond the pro wrestling world. Two of the greatest WWE performers have managed to make good use of their WWE popularity in Hollywood, and today they are among the biggest names in the industry. Black Adam, which fans have been eagerly awaiting, is Johnson’s first live-action DCEU project and is currently in theaters. Cena [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/john-cena/], who played Peacemaker, was a member of The Suicide Squad, and is another notable member of the DC Extended Universe. However, Johnson’s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/the-rock/] film clearly outperforms Cena’s in terms of box office collection on the first day. Superman Fan Gets Carried Out of Theater [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-power-of-black-adam-dwayne-johnson-responds-as-an-unresponsive-superman-fan-gets-carried-out-of-theatre/] JOHN CENA’S DCEU PROJECT PALES IN COMPARISON TO BLACK ADAM STARRING DWAYNE JOHNSON In terms of their Hollywood careers, Johnson is undoubtedly a little ahead of The Champ despite the fact that Cena has made remarkable success with his unique Peacemaker role. However, DJ proved it once more that he has an upper hand in box office, as evidenced by the opening day collection of Black Adam.

On the other hand, Johnson’s Black Adam had a $195 million budget. Comfortably made $26,8 million [https://variety.com/2022/film/box-office/black-adam-projected-opening-dc-ticket-to-paradise-1235411428/] in the USA on Friday. This is due to the fact that there has been a lot of anticipation for Black Adam over the years, making it one of the most so. Additionally, the promotions were on a huge scale and included the NFL, NBA, and ongoing cricket T20 World Cup. Not to forget, there was anticipation for Superman’s appearance in the film, which happened in the post-credit scenes as well. The one thing that is certain is that it appears to have sufficient time to beat the overall box office totals of the movie, but the real question is whether it will top Dwayne Johnson’s Furious 7, which brought in $1.5 billion.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center">John Cena: 2024 Net Worth, Stats, Salary, Wife and More</h2>
Love him or hate him, but you cannot deny that Cena has an unparalleled mainstream appeal that resonates with not just wrestling fans but also non-wrestling audiences. John Cena is one of the richest wrestlers in the world, with an estimated net worth of $80 million as of 2023.

[caption id="attachment_1235087" align="aligncenter" width="1920"]<img class="wp-image-1235087 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-90070816.jpg" alt="John Cena" width="1920" height="1496" /> LAS VEGAS - AUGUST 24: Wrestler John Cena picks up wrestler Randy Orton as wrestler Triple H (R) looks on during the WWE Monday Night Raw show at the Thomas &amp; Mack Center August 24, 2009 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

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.

He also won the Royal Rumble in 2008 and 2013. John Cena has been a part of the main event of Wrestlemania, a record five times in 2006, 2007, 2011, 2012, and 2013 respectively. This only leaves him behind Hulk Hogan, Roman Reigns, and Triple H for the most Wrestlemania appearances.

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>
Being one of the leading faces of WWE for years, John Cena has been successful in bagging many endorsements and sponsorship deals. He has been the face of big brands including Capri Sun, Gillette, Fruity Pebbles, and Gold Gym. The wrestler has also worked with brands like Subway and Honda.

John Cena once mentioned, <em>"I don’t just buy them to buy them. I buy them because I enjoy them, and every car has a story," </em>and thus it should be no surprise that his garage is filled with cars from almost every category, be it sports cars, muscle cars or Italian vehicles. Cena owns a 1969 British MG MGC Restomodded with a big American V8 and he purchased it with the help of cool guys from Texas Metal.

The wrestler also owns other sports cars, including a 2006 Dodge Viper, a 2009 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1, a 1991 Lincoln Continental, and two Ford GTs, one from 2006 and the other from 2017. 1984 Cadillac Coupe Deville was his first car while nowadays he is often spotted in a 2021 Honda Civic Type-R.

Speaking of his muscle cars collection, Cena owns a 1966 Dodge Hemi Charger, a 1969 AMC AMX, a 1969 COPO Chevrolet Camaro, a 1970 AMC Rebel Machine, 1970 Oldsmobile Cutlass Rallye 350, 1970 Plymouth Superbird, 1969 Dodge Daytona, 1970 Buick GSX, 1970 Mercury Cougar Eliminator, 1970 Pontiac GT Judge, 1970 Chevy Nova, 1971 Plymouth Road Runner, and 1971 AMC Hornet SC/360, a 2007 Dodge Charger SRT-8 and a rare 2007 Ford Mustang Saleen Parnelli Jones Limited Edition.

He also has a huge Italian sports car collection with beauties like the 2004 Ferrari 360 Spider, 2012 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG, 2008 Ferrari 612 Scaglietti OTO, 2006 Lamborghini Murcielago Coupe, 2008 Mercedes-SLR McLaren, a 2013 Maserati Gran Turismo CMC Stradale, and 2007 Ferrari F430 Spider.

2005 Aston Martin Vanquish S, a Rolls-Royce Phantom Drophead Coupe, a heavily customized 2006 Rolls-Royce Phantom, and a 2012 Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography Ultimate Edition from John Cena's luxury cars collection.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><b>John Cena’s house</b></h2>
Cena resides in his mansion at the Land O' Lakes, Tampa, Florida. He splurged $525,000 in 2005 to become owner of the estate that boasts of an area of over 10,000 square feet. The purchase has been fruitful for the wrestler, as it is currently valued at around $4 million.
