John Felix-Anthony Cena, Jr. (born April 23, 1977 in West Newbury, Massachusetts), is an Italian-American professional wrestler and part-time hip hop artist who currently performs for World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) on the RAW brand, where he is the current WWE Champion. Cena brought the once SmackDown!-exclusive WWE Championship belt to RAW on June 6, 2005 when he was drafted to RAW during the 2005 Draft. Cena has released a music CD, You Can't See Me, with real life cousin Tha Trademarc, and has performed live concerts with Tha Trademarc and Bumpy Knuckles.

Before his professional wrestling career, John Cena was a bodybuilder, college football player, a team captain and All-American center for Division III at Springfield College. While at Springfield, he earned a degree in exercise physiology.

Early career

In 2000, Cena first started training to become a wrestler at the California-based Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) where he created his character, The Prototype. WWE signed him to a developmental contract at Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW) straight out of UPW.

World Wrestling Entertainment

Cena's first televised WWE match was against Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002 at the Allstate Arena in Chicago. Angle was giving "free shots" at himself to newcomers. Inspired by Vince McMahon's recent speech to WWE's rising stars, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a place among the legends, Cena took advantage of this opportunity. He almost beat Kurt Angle, kicking out of the Angle Slam and surviving the Ankle Lock submission hold, but ultimately losing to a hard amateur-style pin.

Cena was a typical face, an underdog in each match. After losing with then-babyface Billy Kidman in a tournament match for the WWE Tag Team Championships, Cena turned heel and blamed Kidman for the loss. Shortly after his heel turn, on a Halloween episode of SmackDown!, he performed a freestyle rap in a Vanilla Ice costume to Stephanie McMahon, and his gimmick was changed to that of a white rapper. At first, this gimmick got Cena a lot of heel heat from the fans, but his frequent freestyle raps about other wrestlers helped to gain him a following. During his run as a heel, Cena feuded with the Undertaker and Chris Benoit and also got some backup from the Full Blooded Italians. One of Cena's first trademark symbols was a modified, classic WWF logo (without the "F") with the slogan "Word Life".

Cena also feuded with Brock Lesnar. During that feud, he derived his signature finishing maneuver, the F-U, as a counterpart to Lesnar's similar F-5 move. Later, when Lesnar turned heel, they briefly joined forces. He would also feud with Kurt Angle and the late Eddie Guerrero before Cena turned face, betraying Lesnar and feuding with him again. Cena established his signature "you can't see me" catch phrase and hand gesture during this time as well. In a 2003 Survivor Series match, he was on a team led by Kurt Angle with Benoit, John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) and Hardcore Holly against Lesnar, Big Show, Nathan Jones, Matt Morgan and A-Train. In the end, Cena hit the F-U on Big Show and got the final pin, leaving him and Benoit as the sole survivors. The two superstars ended their feud there, though they would later fight each other during Cena's run for the WWE United States Championship.

United States Champion

In 2004, Cena's popularity started to increase. He feuded with The Big Show, leading to a WrestleMania XX victory to win the United States Championship. Cena claimed the gold by distracting the ref and using his brass knuckles on Big Show. This was his first WWE title. Eventually he was stripped of the title by then-SmackDown! General Manager Kurt Angle. He later won the title back after winning a best-of-5 match series against Booker T. Cena's second title reign was short-lived; he lost the title to the debuting Carlito in Cena's first televised match since regaining the title.

As part of an angle, Cena was attacked in a Boston nightclub by Carlito's bodyguard, Jesus, which kept Cena from wrestling for about a month due to a kidney puncture. In actuality, this event was kayfabe and Cena was actually busy filming The Marine. He returned to wrestling just in time for the 2004 Survivor Series. Upon his return, Cena exacted revenge on Carlito in a SmackDown! match and won the U.S. title back. Afterward, however, Cena was attacked in the ring by Jesus, who hit him in the kidney several times with Cena's own chain.

Cena's United States title reigns were notable for two reasons. His second title reign came after a best-of-5 series of matches - a series of matches similar to the one wrestled by Booker T and Chris Benoit for the World Television Championship in World Championship Wrestling (WCW). In addition, Cena wore a modified United States title belt during his third reign as champion. The new belt featured the same colors, but with the face plate fashioned as a spinner.

WWE Champion

At the 2005 Royal Rumble, Cena and Batista both went over the top rope at the same time to end the match, but Vince McMahon demanded the match go into sudden death. Cena had Batista in the F-U, but Batista reversed it to win the match. Shortly after, Cena competed in a tournament to become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship, and won the tournament by defeating Kurt Angle at No Way Out. In the weeks leading up to WrestleMania 21, where Cena was to face JBL, he lost his United States Championship to JBL's Chief of Staff, Orlando Jordan, with he and JBL blowing up the spinner-style belt the following week. During this feud with JBL, Cena established a name for his fans: the "Chain Gang Soldiers" (often shorted to just "Chain Gang").

On April 3, 2005 at WrestleMania 21 in Los Angeles, Cena defeated JBL to win his first WWE Championship. He then had a custom WWE Championship belt made, just as "Stone Cold" Steve Austin had done with his "smoking skull" belt. Cena's WWE Championship belt is similar to his custom U.S. title belt, featuring a spinner-type WWE logo plate. In the meanwhile, JBL stole the original WWE belt and claimed he was still WWE Champion.

At Judgment Day, Cena successfully defended his title against JBL in a bloody "I Quit" Match. JBL, cornered against a glass pane, quit to avoid getting hit by a tractor trailer's exhaust pipe. He got hit anyway, sending him through the glass pane behind him. Cena was able to reclaim the real WWE Championship belt, though he still carried around his spinner belt.

Drafted to RAW

On the June 6, 2005 episode of RAW, John Cena became the first drafted in the annual WWE Draft Lottery, with Eric Bischoff drafting him from SmackDown! to RAW. Upon entering RAW, Cena immediately entered an angle with Chris Jericho and Christian. The rivalry between Christian and Cena had already been established when Christian attacked Cena on the Jericho's Highlight Reel, while Cena's rivalry with Jericho started when Jericho turned on Cena in a tag-team match against Christian and Tyson Tomko.

Cena defeated Christian and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat match at WWE Vengeance by knocking Jericho out of the ring and pinning Christian. On the June 27 edition of RAW, Cena teamed with Shawn Michaels and a returning Hulk Hogan for the first time to beat Jericho, Christian and Tyson Tomko.

Feud with Bischoff

Cena quickly made enemies with RAW GM Eric Bischoff, delivering the F-U to Bischoff on the July 11, 2005 edition of RAW. Bischoff vowed to make Cena's stint on RAW difficult and chose Chris Jericho to contend for Cena's title. On July 25, 2005 Cena and Jericho competed in the first ever battle of the bands on RAW. The battle featured Cena's Chain Gang against Jericho's Fozzy. Cena performed but Jericho refused, claiming the audience was biased against him and that Fozzy would not perform until the upcoming SummerSlam 2005 pay-per-view. After a successful title defense against his rival Carlito, Cena also successfully defended his title against Chris Jericho at SummerSlam 2005.

On August 22, 2005 in Hampton, Virginia, Cena beat Jericho in a "You're Fired" match for the WWE Championship despite the General Manager giving Cena a low-blow and also handing a pair of brass knuckles to Jericho. After the match, Kurt Angle came into the ring and attacked Cena while Eric Bischoff revealed that Angle was the number one contender for Cena's world title. After several weeks of feuding, both men faced off in the main event of Unforgiven 2005, where Cena lost to Angle by disqualification after hitting Angle with the WWE title belt, meaning Cena would still be champion. At Taboo Tuesday 2005, Cena again successfully retained his WWE Championship in a Triple Threat match against Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels by pinning Michaels.

On the November 14, 2005 edition of RAW, Cena paid tribute to Eddie Guerrero, who had recently passed away. After a main event match with Randy Orton that had Cena delivering the F-U to Orton, Cena took off the Eddie Guerrero "I'm Your Papi" T-shirt he had worn during the match in Eddie's honour. He laid it down on the mat and placed his championship belt on top of it, honouring Guerrero, who was a former WWE Champion.

At the 2005 Survivor Series, Cena successfully defended the WWE Championship against Kurt Angle.

On the December 5, 2005 episode of RAW, Cena made his opinion of Bischoff known during Bischoff's mock trial and helped Vince McMahon fire Bischoff by delivering the F-U to the former RAW GM, effectively ending the hostilities he had with Bischoff and giving Cena the last laugh.

Losing the WWE Championship

On January 8, 2006, at New Year's Revolution, Cena successfully defended his WWE Championship in an Elimination Chamber match. John Cena had to face Kane, Kurt Angle, Carlito, Chris Masters and Shawn Michaels. However, after the match, Vince McMahon came onto the stage and announced that Cena was going to defend the WWE Championship against Edge, who was cashing in his previously earned Money in the Bank title shot. Edge quickly delivered two spears to Cena, pinning him to win the WWE Championship and to end Cena's reign as WWE Champion at 280 days, matching that of previous champion JBL.

Second WWE Championship reign

On January 29, 2006, Cena made Edge submit to the STF-U at the 2006 Royal Rumble to regain the WWE Championship, three weeks to the day he lost it.

On February 20, 2006, Triple H defeated Rob Van Dam (RVD) and Big Show to win the Road to WrestleMania tournament, which in turn gave him a title shot at Cena's WWE Championship at WrestleMania 22. On the February 27, 2006 edition of RAW, Triple H and John Cena went face-to-face verbal confrontation in the middle of the ring. Triple H accused Cena several times of lacking in-ring ability, saying, "Well, excuse me if I'm not afraid of the guy whose one big move is pumpin' up his Reeboks."

On the April 3, 2006 edition of RAW, Cena again came out to a mixed reaction from the fans, which he commented on. Later in the night Cena was defeated in a handicap match against Triple H and Edge. After the show ended, Cena thanked the fans, whether they were cheering for him or cheering because he had just taken a considerable beating. Despite his positive words, he still received a substantial amount of jeering, though less than what he had received during the show. On April 30, 2006 at Backlash, Cena successfully defended his WWE Championship title in a Triple Threat match against Triple H and Edge, despite interference from Lita. Cena again successfully defended his WWE Championship the following night on RAW against Kenny of the The Spirit Squad, despite having Triple H as the special guest referee. After Triple H left Cena at the mercy of The Spirit Squad, Shawn Michaels came down to the ring as a referee to help Cena pick up the win. According to WWE.com, Vince McMahon declared that Cena would defend the WWE title against Triple H on the May 9, 2006 edition of RAW. However, McMahon went back on his word during the start of the show and put Cena, along with Shawn Michaels, in a handicap match against The Spirit Squad. McMahon then gave Triple H "the night off." Triple H emerged regardless at the end of the match (which The Spirit Squad won) and pedigreed Cena.

On the May 15th edition of RAW, Cena teamed with Rob Van Dam to defend his WWE Championship along with RVD's Intercontinental Championship in the first ever two-on-three Texas Tornado dual-title match against Triple H, Shelton Benjamin and Chris Masters, with the first cover winning or defending the respective title. The match ended when Benjamin pinned RVD to reclaim the IC title, allowing Cena to retain.

On the May 22 edition of RAW, Cena defeated Chris Masters by submission. Afterwards, Rob Van Dam hit the ring to inform Cena that he will be cashing in his Money in the Bank contract, but not for that night. In an ironic twist of fate (no Matt Hardy pun intended), Cena will defend the WWE Championship against Rob Van Dam at ECW One Night Stand. This will mark the second time in a row that Cena will defend the WWE Championship against the holder of a Money in the Bank contract, the first being Edge.

Fan backlash

After the draft lottery which brought him to RAW, Cena's popularity with the fans slowly began to fade. With his two biggest rivalries being against Chris Jericho and Kurt Angle, the cult followings of both men were overwhelming in the crowd. At SummerSlam 2005, when Cena defended the WWE Championship against Chris Jericho, chants of "Let's go, Cena!" and "Let's go Jericho" were clearly audible, a sign that the fans were becoming divided over Cena. Slowly, boos began to emerge during Cena's matches.

Over time, the reactions towards Cena became more and more negative, especially during his feuds with stars such as Kurt Angle. Despite Angle's best attempts to attain heel heat, the fans continued to boo Cena. At New Year's Revolution, Cena successfully defended his title in an Elimination Chamber match, much to the displeasure of most of the crowd. During the match, everytime Cena was attacked, the crowd cheered, whether or not he was attacked by a face or heel. At the end of the match, Edge appeared much to the surprise of the crowd, cashing in on his Money-in-the-Bank clause. He defeated Cena, becoming the new WWE Champion, which was seen as a cheap move by the fans, as well as Joey Styles and Jerry Lawler, who claimed that Edge had "stolen the damn title."

Cena was reported as being upset by fans' negativity, although he stated that the fans obviously had a choice in deciding whom they wanted to root for. Possible reasons for the negative or mixed reactions were the predictability of the storylines and matches he had been booked in, and that his character had become too mainstream and less edgy over time as he received more exposure from the non-wrestling press and he became more of a typical face instead of remaining as a tweener antihero. Cena's circumstances are similar to Rocky Maivia's, before he became The Rock, who despite being pushed as a face was booed the more he tried to get the fans to side with him.

In the follow-up to the 2006 Royal Rumble, the brief feud with Edge seemed to be restoring Cena's popularity, with him making saves for crowd favorite Ric Flair. At the Royal Rumble, Cena reclaimed the WWE Championship, again drawing polarized reactions from the crowd.

Between this time and WrestleMania 22, where he was slated to face Triple H in a WWE Championship match, Cena's popularity appeared to be declining. An popular heel, Triple H drew positive crowd reactions for verbally putting Cena down, especially when he brought up Cena's perceived lack of wrestling ability. Cena responded with self-deprecation and sharp promos, which ultimately did little to aid his popularity at WrestleMania 22.

At WrestleMania 22, Cena retained the WWE Championship. He was booed at every turn, despite his grand entrance that glorified the Chicago Mafia, while Triple H had difficulty garnering heel heat. Announcers at WrestleMania 22 attributed the constant booing of Cena to the overwhelming population of "traditional wrestling fans," with Jerry Lawler suggesting that Cena was young, edgy and original for the older audience to appreciate.

Afterwards, Cena would continue to draw mixed reactions from the crowd.

At Backlash, which took place on April 30, 2006, despite being the victor, Cena was laid out by a berserk Triple H. The crowd was in overwhelming support of Triple H's actions. A blurb on WWE.com a few hours later on the official Backlash website showcased Cena in agony with Triple H celebrating his attack, the tagline reading "Cena 'wins'." This further validated WWE's public acknowledgement of Cena's dichotomy as a champion, by implying that Cena was still failing to rally the fans behind him despite being pushed as a babyface champion.

The next night, however, at the RAW showing at Columbus, Ohio, the crowd was more favorable towards Cena, as boos were mixed with cheers. This, however, may have only been because Cena was fighting the Spirit Squad and that Shawn Michaels, a crowd favorite, appeared later in the match. The following week, on the May 8, 2006 edition of RAW, Cena received unfavorable heat during a verbal sparring with Triple H, but was received more warmly when he paired up with Michaels to fight the Spirit Squad.

On the May 15, 2006 edition of RAW the fans in West Texas responded strongly to Cena's entrance. The reaction however slowed down during the match when Cena was treated like a fluke champion throughout the match, retaining the title only because the match was a two-on-three handicap match with both the WWE Championship and the WWE Intercontinental Championship on the line. Rob Van Dam was pinned by Shelton Benjamin for the IC title just moments before Cena was laid out and pinned by Triple H. Also in the match was "The Masterpiece" Chris Masters. Cena didn't reappear on the show after being laid out by Triple H, who received much stronger reactions for his pedigrees on Cena and the referee.

On the May 22nd, 2006 edition of RAW, fans in Las Vegas, Nevada responded very favourably towards Cena, cheering for him throughout his entrance and throughout his match with Chris Masters. The fans even cheered him when Cena brawled with Rob Van Dam after the match as Van Dam told Cena he would be cashing in his contract at ECW One Night Stand 2006 and booed Van Dam when he laid Cena out with his briefcase.

Outside of wrestling

Many professional wrestlers have a diverse career outside of wrestling, and John Cena is no exception.

Music

In addition to his time in the ring, Cena is a rap music artist. He performed his fifth WWE entrance song, "Basic Thugonomics", which was featured on the WWE soundtrack album WWE Originals. His track "Untouchables" was featured on Theme Addict, another WWE soundtrack album. His debut album which he recorded alongside his cousin Tha Trademarc, You Can't See Me features his current entrance theme "My Time is Now". Tha Trademarc is currently working on his own album which will feature John Cena. The first single from the You Can't See Me album was "Bad, Bad Man". The music video for the song, a parody of 1980s culture and the television show The A-Team, premiered on an edition of SmackDown!. WWE premiered the music video for Cena's second single, "Right Now", on the August 8 edition of RAW.

John Cena has worked with several personalities in the Hip-Hop industry, such as Freddie Foxx (Bumpy Knuckles), 7L, Esoteric, Murs (including a music video), E-40 and Chingo Bling. He and Method Man were also featured in SmackDown! magazine and MTV.com. Most recently, Cena and Tha Trademarc are featured on a track by The Perceptionists, "Champion Scratch." Cena has also performed on BBC Two's long running Top of the Pops, becoming the first professional wrestler to perform on the program.

Film

A division of World Wrestling Entertainment, WWE Films produces and fully finances motion pictures under the supervision of Joel Simon, President of the company. Cena's first movie credit will be the lead role in The Marine, a film directed by John Bonito, co-starring Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day, Walk the Line) and Kelly Carlson (Nip/Tuck). WWE has completed a deal with 20th Century Fox to distribute The Marine theatrically in 2006. Stars of other movies by WWE Films include "Stone Cold" Steve Austin, The Rock, Kane, and Triple H. The Marine will make its big-screen debut on September 29, 2006.

Fashion

Cena's attire in and out of the ring reflects the old school hip-hop culture that he represents. He previously wore throwback jerseys (during his time as heel, he would wear jerseys of a rival team of the city he was wrestling in; as a face, he would wear jerseys of one of the city's home teams), though he now generally wears "Chain Gang" related merchandise. He has also worn a chain with a lock on it to the ring and the chain was at times utilized as a weapon. This chain has now been replaced by an enormous, chromed and diamond studded "Chain Gang" spinner medallion.

When Cena was part of the SmackDown! brand, his apparel bearing the suggestive spoonerism "Ruck Fules" was censored when he wore it on camera. They were not censored by UPN, but by WWE to sell more shirts under the premise that it was "too hot for TV."

Guest appearances

Prior to his WWE debut, Cena made a guest appearance on the Internet stream show Go Sick in 2001 as Bruebaker, an angry, cursing wrestler.

During his WWE career, Cena appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on July 23, 2005 in order to promote his CD, WWE, and SummerSlam 2005. Cena appeared again on this show on March 14, 2006 to promote Saturday Night's Main Event and WrestleMania 22. Over 150 people were turned away as audience members due to Cena's demanding popularity.

Other appearances include Fuse's Daily Download, Fox Sports Net's Best Damn Sports Show Period, G4's Training Camp (also with Shelton Benjamin), and he has also served as a co-presenter with Hulk Hogan on the 2005 Teen Choice Awards show.

Cena also was the guest on the October 23, 2005 episode of "Wally's World" on NBC's Bank of America Countdown to Green where he rode with former NASCAR Winston/Nextell Cup competitor Wally Dallenbach around Martinsville Speedway, then proceeded to put NBC pit reporter Marty Snider into a submission move. (NBC Universal owns the USA Network, which broadcasts WWE RAW.)

Cena appeared on the November 26, 2005 episode of Mad TV in the opening segment, and in a 24 spoof skit with cast member Bobby Lee.

Cena was a guest judge on the March 28 2006 edition of Nashville Star.

Cena was a presenter at the 2006 WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony on April 1, 2006, inducting William "The Refrigerator" Perry into the Hall of Fame's "Celebrity Wing."

Most recently, Cena appeared on British children's program Mighty Truck of Stuff on April 21, 2006.

John Cena has stated that the one show he wants to do a guest spot in is Disney's Dave The Barbarian.

Wrestling facts

"The Six Moves of Doom"

Cena's "Six Moves of Doom" is a term that some wrestling fans use to refer to a combo of moves Cena uses when he is on an in-ring comeback that leads to the pinfall or submission. The phrase was originally coined by Scott Keith in the Internet Wrestling Community as the "Five Moves of Doom" in reference to Bret Hart, who had a well-established sequence of five moves in the same context (in both cases, the term was also at times used in a pejorative fashion by critics who perceived the wrestler in question to have a limited moveset). The following are the six moves and the approximate order in which John Cena executes them (the fifth move can be either the finishing move or the set-up for the sixth and final move):

1. Flying shoulder block
2. Sitout hip toss or multiple clotheslines
3. Killswitch / Protobomb (Side release spin-out powerbomb)
4. Five Knuckle Shuffle (Fist drop with theatrics)
5. F-U (Standing fireman's carry takeover or fireman's carry powerslam)
6. STF-U (Stepover Toehold Sleeper)
