AND HIS NAME IS JOHN CENA!!!

In Real Life/WWE[]

John Felix Anthony Cena (/ˈsiːnə/; born April 23, 1977) is an American professional wrestler, actor, television presenter, philanthropist, and former rapper. Widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time, he is currently signed to WWE.

Born and raised in West Newbury, Massachusetts, Cena moved to California in 1998 to pursue a career as a bodybuilder. He transitioned to professional wrestling in 1999 when he debuted for Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW). He signed with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 2001, where he was initially assigned to Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). He gained fame in the WWE after adopting the persona of a trash-talking rapper. He won his first singles title, the United States Championship, in 2004. The next year, he won the WWE Championship for the first time, and his character subsequently transitioned into a clean-cut "Superman-like" hero. He then led the company as its franchise player and public face for the next decade.

Cena is a five-time United States Champion, four-time world tag team champion, and a 16-time world champion. He is tied with Ric Flair for the most world championship reigns in WWE history, including 13 with the WWE Championship, a record for the title. He is also a two-time Royal Rumble match winner, a one-time Money in the Bank winner, and has headlined several major WWE pay-per-view events, including their flagship event, WrestleMania, five times.

Cena has been met with mixed critical and fan reception during his career. He has been praised for his character work and promotion skills but criticized for his supposed over-representation and victories over rising stars, which are deemed "burials". He is thus regarded as one of the most polarizing professional wrestlers of all time.

Cena first starred in The Marine (2006), and gained praise for his performances in Trainwreck (2015), Ferdinand (2017), Blockers, and Bumblebee (both 2018). He starred in F9 and will portray Peacemaker in The Suicide Squad (both 2021), and in an eponymous television series. He also released a rap album called You Can't See Me (2005), which went platinum. Outside his work in entertainment, Cena is known for his involvement in numerous charitable causes, namely with the Make-A-Wish Foundation, where he has granted the most wishes, at over 650.

In VGCW[]

John Cena participated in the second Royal Rumble of November 19th 2012 (entering at #11) as a request from the live chat, mostly as a joke. He eliminated Wesker, Phoenix Wright and Mr Satan before being thrown out by Woody.

Cena has influenced the careers of a number of VGCW wrestlers. JonTron began using Cena's theme My Time Is Now as a lead-in to his intro after getting nicknames like JonTron Cena and Jon CenaTron as a result of him claiming quite a few victories in spite of his lack of popularity and statistical disadvantage. Charles Barkley also started getting compared to Cena after winning the VGCW championship for the 3rd time, due in part to his leg injury becoming an advantage through the power of THQuality. Unlike JonTron, he refused to embrace this reputation and personally confronted the audience, demanding their respect. His career went downhill after the third Championship win, however, and with the exploitation of his leg injury becoming common knowledge Barkley efforts to distance himself from Cena only did so much.

Vegeta started using Bad Bad Man as his theme song after his first singles victory. This, however, was not because of his relation with the audience (he, in fact, is quite popular), but because it went with his new "BADMAN" persona. He kept the theme until he became Majin Vegeta, and starting using it again after his return at the end of Season 5.

Part of Lucina's gimmick is based around John Cena, from the "Let's Go 'Cina!"/"'Cina Sucks!" dueling crowd chants to "#RISEABOVEFATE" and "#LUCINATION".

This gimmick would eventually result in a special match VGCW vs WWE fought between Cina and Cena. Cena opened up very strong but Cina gradually regained ground against him. Cina would win the match with a DualStrike powerslam. The two shook hands; Lucina and John reached Support Rank C.
