John Cena is undoubtedly one of the greatest pro wrestlers ever in the business. He kicked off his wrestling career back in 1999 and began by competing in independent circuits. Eventually, he made his way into OVW, which was WWE's developmental promotion during that period.

He made his WWE debut back in 2002. His initial persona was a unique blend of man and machine, famously called the prototype. Unfortunately, this character didn't quite click with the audience. There was even a time when WWE management contemplated letting him go from his contract.

Stephanie McMahon, one of Vince McMahon's daughters, caught a glimpse of Cena freestyle rapping on the bus. Afterwards, she proposed that Cena and the WWE writers come up with a fresh gimmick that revolves around his rapping skills.

Rest is history. Cena became famous for his Doctor of Thuganomics persona, and later on, he embraced the persona of Mr.Never.Give.Up.

Cena successfully captured the WWE championship 16 times in his career. Only two wrestlers have ever captured the WWE champion 16 times and Cena is one of them.

Currently, Cena is focusing on his successful full-time Hollywood career and he has performed in multiple global hits from Fast and Furious franchise to DC movies.
