* ContractualPurity: Cena has stated this as one of the main reasons why its difficult for him to turn heel. Cena has enjoyed the charity work that he has done as the top face of the WWE, becoming Make-A-Wish's most requested personality. He insisted that he will have to give up all those works (and likewise the company if they didn't have a replacement ready) to become a villain.

His famous chain/padlock belt over jean shorts was the result of him being uncomfortable with fans contemplating his penis ([[Series/Peacemaker2022 he got over that]]) when he wore wrestling shorts.

* HostilityOnTheSet: Most backstage drama relating to Cena has been quiet and mostly related to lower card guys like Alex Riley. The sole exception to this is his 2011-2012 feud with Wrestling/TheRock, where the two apparently had legitimate heat against each other. They managed to put it aside for the sake of the fans, and by 2013 they had buried the hatchet.

They managed to put it aside for the sake of the fans, and by 2013 they had buried the hatchet. Cena in particular expressed regret at many of the barbs he threw at the Rock departing WWE for Hollywood especially in the wake of him doing the same thing several years down the line.



** As part of the infamous injury plague of 2015-16, Cena went down with a shoulder surgery which made him unable to have a match at ''[=WrestleMania=] 32'', the first time in '''12 years''' that he didn't have one at the event. A rumour that's gone round since then is that he was supposed to be wrestling '''THE GOD DAMN UNDERTAKER'''. The match ultimately did end up happening at ''34'', but it was a complete CurbStompBattle in favor of Taker that was in the interest of restoring Taker's mystique more than anything else, likely because not even Cena could pull out a good enough match out of him after ''33'' made it clear how badly his body had broken down during his match with Wrestling/RomanReigns.
