Usually the WWE Universe hears stories where the Superstars reveal how they’ve always wanted to be a part of WWE. However, that wasn’t the case with John Cena. He didn’t enter sports entertainment to become a part of WWE, but all the years of following WWF made him want to work in sports entertainment. He wanted to have a weekend hobby, and tried working in the sports entertainment field. During this time he realized he needed to build a character that could connect with the audience, and he became The Prototype. A half human-half machine and absolutely rotten. While working as The Prototype, a scout noticed him and sent him to Kentucky. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/John-cena-1-1-1.jpg] “It was enough to catch the eye of a scout to send me to Kentucky. And the first thing they said was like drop The Prototype, cut your hair, and be a good guy. So, I debuted as John Cena. The most stale, unentertaining character you can imagine. And was just about to be fired after a year and half of me trying to connect with the audience.” Fans [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-mick-foley-believes-wwe-raw-superstar-is-quickly-getting-over-with-fans-damian-priest/] JOHN CENA SAVED HIS WWE CAREER WITH FREESTYLE RAP When he failed to connect with the audience, he was at the verge of losing his job. However, on what would have been his last tour, he started freestyle rapping in the bus with others and the creative department was impressed! They wanted to make him do freestyle rap in the ring, and Cena readily agreed. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WWE-John-Cena-says-he-still-watches-the-product-to-758x398-1.jpg] “It really gave me a chance to invest in costuming, mannerisms, delivery, personality. I’m not the most technically proficient guy, I’m not the biggest aerial performer. But, I really love the make believe aspect, I really genuinely do and the storytelling aspect. And being the rap guy, I bought it all in… the one thing that I got my a** kicked for as a teenager – dressing different and embracing hip hop culture, was the catalyst to me connecting with the global audience.” Watch This Story: Edge To Kevin Owens: WWE Superstars Who Shockingly Defeated John Cena [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/wwe-news-edge-to-kevin-owens-wwe-superstars-who-shockingly-defeated-john-cena-daniel-bryan-the-miz-sheamus-rusev-kevin-federline-raw-smackdown/] [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/John-Cena-and-Matt-Riddle-e1626756180231.jpg] Now, John Cena is one of the biggest names in the WWE Universe and in the wrestling industry.

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 Cenaâ€™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 Cenaâ€™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 Cenaâ€™s career timeline</b></h2>
