Despite Cena’s debut in 2002, his early days weren’t exactly golden, except for his first match against Kurt Angle. Behind the scenes, folks weren’t overly impressed with his performances.

Cena spilled the tea, revealing that big shots like Triple H and McMahon weren’t exactly his fan club presidents; they wanted him out of WWE. In a 2012 chat with Soscia Network, he laid it bare, saying (WrestlingWorldCC), 

“When I was just wearing boots and tights, and I was supposed to be the ruthless aggression, young good guy, nobody in the company liked me. I know Vince McMahon won’t admit this, but he wanted me fired, Triple H wanted me fired, everybody hated me.”

But, plot twist! Cena flipped the script with his Thuganomics persona, partly thanks to Stephanie McMahon. Rapping freestyle on a WWE bus, he wowed Stephanie, birthing the character that catapulted him to WWE stardom.

The last time we saw Cena, he was trading blows in Saudi Arabia, but since then, it’s been radio silence. There’ve been whispers about his return, but it looks like we might have to wait a bit longer.

The buzz all started with an announcement from filmmaker James Gunn, the brains behind DC’s Peacemaker series, where Cena’s been kicking butt. With the filmmaker wrapping up the script for season two (Threads), Cena’s WWE plans might take a back seat.

If filming starts soon, we might not see Cena lacing up his boots anytime soon. So, what’s the deal? Well, it’s all up in the air. Filming schedules are unpredictable, and there’s no telling when Cena will be free to make his WWE comeback.
