History Trivia / JohnCena

** Currently dating Nikki Bella.

** Going down with a serious injury literally days before he was to drop the WWE Championship at ''No Mercy 2007'' to Wrestling/RandyOrton in what would most likely have been another intensifier to their already red-hot feud.

* WolverinePublicity: ''[=WrestleMania=] 32'' was the first ''[=Wrestlemania=]'' in 11 years whose official poster [[https://imgur.com/a/18DWf#wt4TgIc did not feature Cena.]] His appearances were {{justified|Trope}}, however, as most of his matches were of high profile.

** 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.

* RomanceOnTheSet: Currently dating Nikki Bella.

* [[FanNickname Detractor Nickname]]: Super Cena.
** [[AscendedFanon Ascended Anti-Fanon]]: Wrestling/{{Ryback}} actually referred to Cena this way during a confrontation with Wrestling/MickFoley on the April 22, 2013 ''Raw.''
** FanCommunityNicknames: The Chain Gang[=/=]The [=Cenation=].

** As part of the infamous injury plague of 2015-16, Cena went down with a shoulder surgery which took him out of a match with '''the Undertaker at WrestleMania 32'''.

** [=WM32=] was the first [=Wrestlemania=] in 11 years whose official poster [[https://imgur.com/a/18DWf#wt4TgIc did not feature Cena.]]\\\
(While we're on the subject, why in the hell was HHH featured on the [=WM26=] poster?)
--->'''Marketing''': Uh, Mr. Levesque, you're not on a marquee ma--"\\
'''HHH''': "THE GAME IS IN A MATCH, AND THEREFORE, SHOULD BE ON A POSTER!"

* HeyItsThatVoice: He's [[WesternAnimation/GeneratorRex Hunter Cain]] in his debut appearance. [[PlayingAgainstType Shocking, huh?]]

** As part of the infamous injury plague of 2015-16, Cena went down with a shoulder surgery which took him out of a match with '''the Undertaker at WrestleMania 32'''.

** Around the time of his debut Cena was auditioning for the voice role of, get this, [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible Ron Stoppable.]] Just think, if Will Fridle hadn't earned the spot there might well be no WWE or PG/Universe era, at least not the way we know it.

** There were rumors going around that Cena had an affair with Wrestling/MickieJames. Kenny Dykstra, who was previously engaged to James, confirmed them to be true, stating it was why their engagement ended, and that the real reason Mickie was sent to ''[=SmackDown!=]'' in late 2009 was because she had a FreakOut after Cena left her for his fiancee, causing management to force a separation at work. He also claims that his outing of the relationship is what led to his push being stopped and being drafted to ''[=SmackDown!=]'' as a jobber, before disappearing from TV altogether and eventually released in November 2008. Whether or not Dykstra is reliable is up for debate, as the confirmation came out years later during Cena's divorce proceedings, indicating either an underlying undertone of bitterness or an attempt to put the spotlight on himself.

** The comprehensive beating Cena took at [=SummerSlam=] 2014 from Brock Lesnar, in one of the most one-sided WWE title matches in history? That was meant for Daniel Bryan, but Bryan vacating the title due to neck surgery led to WWE putting Cena in the spot instead.

** In similar fashion, his injury in late 2012 prevented us from seeing '''CM PUNK vs. JOHN CENA V''' (and the first four had all delivered for the most part) '''for the WWE Title, inside Hell In A Cell.'''

* MoneyDearBoy: The reason for Cena's current face gimmick has lasted as long as it has. His merchandise alone has drawn in tons of money for Wrestling/{{WWE}}, allowing WWE to prove to the world that they can artificially-engineer a CashCow out of a failure of their core competency.

* 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 stated it would be work that would be hard for him to give up (and likewise the company if they didn't have a replacement ready) if he became a villain.
