3. Longevity
John Cena has had an incredibly long run. Starting in 2001, he started in WWE’s developmental, Ohio Valley Wrestling. Cena infamously debuted on the main roster in 2002, interrupting Kurt Angle. He worked tirelessly for over fifteen years until finally shifting into a part-time schedule in 2018.
His part-time status came as a result of age and his acting career. With his final match set for December 13th, 2025, Cena’s active in-ring career would have lasted 24 years.
2. Charitable Work
Charity has always been a big part of John Cena’s character. He works primarily with children through the Make-A-Wish Foundation. These children have life-threatening illnesses, and the organization works with public figures to de-stress from their everyday lives. Cena even holds the Guinness World Record for granting over 650 of these wishes.
He is also a proud supporter of veterans and previously worked with the FitOps Foundation, which helps them with fitness and careers after the military. Cena also donated over $500,000 for California wildfire assistance and has been vocal in anti-bullying and cancer awareness campaigns.
