John Cena is a widely-renowned name in the wrestling industry due to his spectacular career that made him one of the GOAT wrestlers. Given his successful career, he decided to take on further challenges in life by stepping into the acting industry. While the journey was not easy, he successfully became among the few wrestlers who dominated the Hollywood industry.
He is prominently known for his portrayal of Peacemaker in the DC franchise and Jakob Toretto in the F9 and the upcoming Fast X film. Now that he is dominating the entertainment world, would he ever gonna leave WWE?
Will John Cena Leave His Wrestling?
The 46-year-old wrestler turned actor, John Cena is an A-lister in the WWE world. Having initially started as a bodybuilder, he got to know more about wrestling which was when he joined the Ultimate Pro-Wrestler (UPW). By 2000, he was already a UPW Heavyweight champion, which became the stepping stone of his famed career.
He signed with WWE in 2001 which affected his career in a great way. Having won the WWE Championship in 2005, he garnered major stardom and established himself among the top contenders in the wrestling industry within a few years.
He then transitioned into Hollywood and established himself as an action-comedy star. Rather than leaving his wrestling career which he called his “home,” he would focus on acting projects by working part-time as a wrestler. Taking a practical approach, the wrestling career is a physically demanding job that could affect him physically.
If the actor would continue working full-time in wrestling that it would be quite difficult for him to schedule both acting and wrestling together. This could be why he prioritizes both careers which is important to him.
