'''John Felix Anthony Cena''' born April 23, 1977. The 21st century equivalent of HulkHogan, JohnCena is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, superstar in [[{{WWE}} World Wrestling Entertainment]], with a nearly decade-long career that's seen him rise through the ranks of the company to become one of its biggest success stories, holding numerous titles and main eventing several ''{{WrestleMania}}s'' in the process. He is currently competing on the [[WWERaw Raw]] brand.
Additionally, Cena has also dabbled in rap music (including releasing a full album, ''You Can't See Me'') and has starred in ''TheMarine'', ''12 Rounds'', ''Legendary'', and ''The Reunion'', films produced by WWE's film division.
You can read about his career in both wrestling and acting over at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cena Wikipedia.]]
-----
!!'''Tropes associated with John Cena include:'''
* AintNoRule: See CombatPragmatist. Ain't no rule that says [[DuctTapeForEverything you can't duct-tape your opponent]]'s legs behind the ringpost to ''ensure'' they can't make it to their feet in a Last Man Standing match.
* AllAmericanFace: (Part of) Cena's current persona.
* ArchEnemy: Even when they're both faces, it's clear Cena and RandyOrton can't stand each other. Same can be said about [[DwayneJohnson The Rock.]]
** OlderThanYouThink: They haven't liked each other since their days in ''OVW'', dating back to when John Cena was still The Prototype. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVeih_Gqakc Watch here.]]
** And of course there's BrockLesnar.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Homeboy once claimed Lita gave him gonorrhea by shaking his hand. And that was in ''2005''. Once the actual Cena-Edge feud got going in '06, he got even worse about this.
** That was kind of the point. He was saying that Lita is so disease-ridden that you can catch something just by being in the same room. He was deliberately trying to shame Lita by deliberately trying to go BeyondTheImpossible.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Attempted to do this to [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]] at ''{{WrestleMania}} 28'', by trying to use the People's Elbow to finish Rock off, only for it to backfire & cost Cena the match. Humorously, this was something Rock himself did somewhat frequently in his career.
* BerserkButton: Good God, don't ever try to harm ZackRyder in front of Cena. Just ask Jack Swagger.
** Nor should you compare him to the New York Yankees in his ''hometown''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's the guy that everyone likes, or the guy who will beat you up mercilessly either with his fists or with his words.
* BigBrotherMentor: Seems to be this to ZackRyder...[[FridgeBrilliance which makes sense if you think about it.]] Much like Ryder, Cena started out as something of a comic relief heel - until he gained such a fan following that the WWE turned him face and put the United States Championship on him (the only difference is that for Zack it was either get noticed or be fired). The smarks in the IWC certainly hope that's where the comparisons stop.
* BrassBalls: Cena has had a couple of these moments, but a recent one that really stands out is walking to the middle of the ring and slapping BrockLesnar right across the face.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[OnceAnEpisode During every entrance,]] Cena says something straight into the camera.
* CatchPhrase:
** "THE CHAMP IS HERE!"
** "You Can't See Me!"
** "Hustle Loyalty Respect", though Cena curiously doesn't say it on a frequent basis like the above two phrases.
* CelebrityResemblance:
** [[MarkWahlberg Marky Mark]]!
** And he dressed as Music/VanillaIce for Halloween, which kicked off the Dr. of Thuganomics gimmick.
* ChainedByFashion: During his Dr. of Thuganomics gimmick.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: By his own admission, he's not the greatest wrestler. He's strong enough to carry multiple wrestlers on his shoulders.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: What his new "Mexican cousin" Juan Cena alias was shaping up to be before it was canned.
* TheChewToy: 2012 has so far not been a good year for Cena. He was terrorized by {{Kane}} for the first part of the year, being forced to helplessly watch his best but ZackRyder be made an example of, then he lost his Wrestlemania match with [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]] due to him trying to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat Rocky at his own game]] when he could of won the match otherwise, then the next night on RAW, when calling out The Rock to congratulate him for his victory he was laid out by a returning BrockLesnar.
* CombatPragmatist:
** He beat {{Batista}} in a Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules 2010 with ''[[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]]''. He also beat Umaga at Royal Rumble 2007 with a broken ring rope.
** An even cleverer finish would be back when he had first won the WWE Championship and was defending against JBL in a ''WrestleMania'' "I Quit" rematch: playing on JBL's obvious cowardice, he threatened to viciously maim him with a pipe in order to goad JBL into quitting.

* CorruptTheCutie:
** His current feud against {{Wrestler/Kane}}, where the Big Red Monster has been determined to make the [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure-hearted]] Cena "embrace the hate" as of late. After multiple attacks on ZackRyder, including a chokeslam that ended up sending Ryder through the stage and to the hospital with a broken back, he seems to be succeeding. Cena nearly gave Swagger a one man Con-chair-to with ''steel steps'' and the 1/30/12 beat down he gave to Kane is showing that there is something that's happening to him.
** Note that during his beatdown of Kane that he seemed unnaturally happy, along with the somewhat random "We're gonna party up in here!" during it.
** On the 2/13/12 RAW it seemed like he was ''just about'' to clock Ryder in the face [[spoiler: After Ryder saw John accidentally kissing his girlfriend Eve due to John trying to save her from Kane.]]
** Given that Cena decidedly beat Kane in an Ambulance Match at ''Elimination Chamber'', perhaps he may have finally risen above the hatred.
* CrowdSong: "Let's go, Cena. Cena Sucks" It's working ''really'' well with his current feud with Kane.
* {{Determinator}}:
** As part of his gimmick, but also arguably just the man ''himself.'' When JohnCena suffers a major injury, expect him to come back from it in half the amount of time it would take anyone else.
** This trope is the reason Cena is kayfabe on the top of the food chain. He's admitted he isn't the best wrestler or the strongest but he never, ever quits while he's still conscious.

* DyeHard: Went blond for a while as The Prototype.
* EnemyMine: He's had several short reigns as a Tag champion, and most of them have been like this? His runs with TheMiz and [[TheNexus David Otunga]] played it pretty straight. (Neither reign lasted more than a day, and coincidentally, he lost both titles to the same team - also from TheNexus.)
** Subverted with his team-up with {{Batista}}. The two obviously couldn't stand each other and their inability to work together cost them the titles a week after winning them.
** Also subverted with [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]]. They teamed against [[TheMiz Awesome]] [[RonKillings Truth]] and won...but the match ended up becoming a junk-measuring contest between the two, and ended with Cena catching a Rock Bottom.
* ExactWords: How he kept Barrett from winning the Championship.
** To elaborate: Barrett told Cena, who would guest-ref the former's WWE Championship match against RandyOrton that if he were to lose, Cena would be fired. Barrett won... through Cena disqualifying Orton, which kept the gold in the Viper's hands.
* ExtremeDoormat: To WadeBarrett, unwillingly.
* FinishingMove: The Attitude Adjustment (formerly the "F-U", a shot at the "F-5" finishing maneuver of Brock Lesnar); the STF (formerly the "STF-U"). The Protobomb as The Prototype.
* FirstNameBasis: With {{Batista}}, Cena always called him Dave.
* FiveMovesOfDoom: Currently: Shoulder tackle x 2, [[hottip:Blue Thunder Powerbomb: Formerly known as the Protobomb when it was used as a finisher]] Five Knuckle Shuffle, Attitude Adjustment.
** Most of the time, the STF is added as a sixth move.
* FlungClothing: Does this often however when...
** He tossed his shirt into the crowd at ''ECW One Night Stand 2006''. The crowd promptly threw it back.
** This happened again on Raw's August 22 2011 episode, when he had a match against CMPunk, ''twice''.
* FriendToAllChildren: Cena has granted over 200+ wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, more than any other celebrity to date.
* GenreSavvy:
** Cena occasionally shows more 'plot awareness' than many wrestlers. For example, he knew that "It's Umaga's night off" meant Umaga was planning some sort of ambush, and (when tagging up with ShawnMichaels), fully expected Michaels to turn on him because "That's what he does".
** He used his own PopularityPower to force VinceMcMahon to give CMPunk his title shot at Money In The Bank.
** This comes again during Ryder's 2nd chance at getting a US Title match when he's in a hopeless bout against MarkHenry. It's made No-DQ and No Countout so Ryder can't garner a easy victory. However, it also means John has no qualms about coming to the ring, giving Mark an AA, and putting Ryder on top for the three count and the title shot.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** While they changed the names of his two finishers to be more family friendly (or in the STF's case just calling it by its real name), his theatrical fistdrop, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, is still named after a euphemism for masturbation.
** Can often get crap past the radar in promos as well. The last time he cut a rapping promo (against [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]]) included (among the use of the word [[PrecisionFStrike 'ass']]) the line "...Dwayne ain't got no Johnson." [[hottip:*:For those of you who ''don't'' know, 'johnson' is one of many euphemisms for a penis.]] ...as well as a reference to fellatio. Yeah.
** He called Dolph Ziggler "Mitch Cumsteen" once. That's not exactly PG.
*** Another time he tried to replace his nickname "Show"off with, Jerk. Dolph immediately stops him before he could complete it.
** Calling Eve Torres[[hottip:*:Who did turn heel after admitting that she was "using" ZackRyder and had similar plans for Cena...]] a "hoeski"? Yeah, not PG at all.
*** He would also allude to her having an STD. Definitely not PG.
** '''March. 12. 2012.''' Holy crap. Cena [[spoiler: in his [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy old school]] gimmick and attire]] didn't even bother trying to sneak past the radar. He mowed the damn thing down with a tank, sitting on top of the tank with both fingers flying.
* HeelFaceTurn: Cena's first heel run as Dr. of Thuganomics saw him cutting raps on everyone and insulting them in a very humorous manner, which lead the fans to cheer for more and more, which lead to his {{Face}} turn, and eventually becoming ''the'' face of the company.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Invoked during his recent feud with {{Wrestler/Kane}}.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: How he lost to The Rock at ''{{WrestleMania}} 28'' - Cena had Rock set-up for the 5-Knuckle Shuffle, but instead decided to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat him with the People's Elbow]]... Only for Rock to get-up & hit Cena with a Rock Bottom as he comes off the ropes for the second time.
* HonorBeforeReason: Cena is often like this when it comes to the integrity of the WWE Championship. He refused to help Wade Barret cheat to win it during the [[TheNexus Nexus]] angle and prevented VinceMcMahon from re-enacting the MontrealScrewjob in his ''Money in the Bank'' match against CMPunk, even though the former led to his being fired [[TenMinuteRetirement (for a while)]] and the latter almost did too.
* HotBlooded: Some of Cena's (better) promos fall into this territory.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: Ever since he turned face, any time Cena is in a gimmick match this will invariably happen to him.
* InsultBackfire:
** During the Viewers' Choice Raw match with CMPunk (prior to TheNexus's debut riot), fans started up a "You can't wrestle!" chant. Cena promptly performed a slick series of chain wrestling reversals that silenced the audience. This also happened during the infamous ''One Night Stand'' match. The Mutants kept yelling "YOU CAN'T WRESTLE", before Cena performed a sequence of wrestling holds and submissions, at which point they started chanting "SAME OLD SHIT!"... until Cena jumped from the top rope to RVD outside the ring. The ECW Mutants shot back with "[[UnpleasableFanbase YOU STILL SUCK!]]".
** Happened again to CMPunk when he aired a promo from the Rock making fun of Cena for his BrokenBase, Punk himself doing the same thing. See LampshadeHanging below and you can probably figure out how Cena responded.
** This happened recently on the post-Survivor Series Raw when Awesome Truth (TheMiz and [[RonKillings R-Truth]]) decided to mock Cena for having the Madison Square Garden fans all booing him the night before, and cheering The Rock. Of course, Cena turned the attempted insult right around into a brilliant TheReasonYouSuckSpeech so magnificent... [[spoiler: that he broke up Awesome Truth without even laying a finger on Miz or Truth.]]
* KidAppealCharacter:
** His gimmick is hated by adult male fans, at least tolerated by female fans because [[EstrogenBrigadeBait women love Cena himself]], and very much beloved by children.
** Lampshaded this outright during his 11/22 retirement speech: He asked the women and kids to scream "Let's go, Cena!" and all the guys to yell back "Cena sucks!" one more time.
* LanternJawOfJustice: [[http://www.johncena4u.com/chain-gang/2007/09/john-cena79.jpg Have you seen the chin on this man?]]
* LampshadeHanging:
** In Cena's [[KayFabe goodbye speech]], he does this to his fanbase, by having "all the girls and little kids say "Let's Go Cena" and all the dudes over 18 say "Cena sucks".
** Is ''very'' aware of the mixed reaction he gets from the fans and references it almost weekly.
* LargeHam:
** At this point, it's possible that fans tune into Raw just to see how much scenery he will chew.
--> "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxxK20_f-f8 BALONEY, FUDGE, AND MUSTARD! MY LIFE IS BEING RUINED BY THE INTERNET!]]"
** Talking quietly to convey seriousness '''AND THEN YELLING LOUDLY TO CONVEY INTENSITY!!!'''
** You know the scary part? Age has mellowed him. Watch him doing "Five Questions with The Champ/with John Cena," they give him five questions from fans, turn on a camera, and let it roll, and Cena usually like an over-caffeinated squirrel the entire time. Many of them are on Youtube, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mUfx-yaPMY enjoy.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Basic Thuganomics" and "The Time is Now", [[DoItYourselfThemeTune both of which Cena recorded himself]].
* [[MeanCharacterNiceActor Nice Character, Nice Actor]]: This plays pretty straight, [[WeWantOurJerkBack to the chagrin]] [[InvincibleHero of some,]] and LoveItOrHateIt, it's the reason he's so marketable. As the {{Misblamed}} entry states, it's pretty obvious that his perpetual push is more a result of WWE's booking decisions than any politicking done on his part.
* MoneyDearBoy: The reason for Cena's current face gimmick has lasted as long as it has. He has drawn in tons of money for {{WWE}} which has made them afraid of changing his character at all.
* MontrealScrewjob: Invoked and defied in his Money in the Bank 2011 match against CM Punk. Michael Cole mentioned that Bret Hart tried to leave the (then) WWF with the title, leading to the screwjob, then Vince McMahon came in and tried to end the match without Punk tapping while Punk was in the STF. Cena stopped the hold and came out and told Vince that the match would end fair and square.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown:
** Cena's been involved in a few of these, including his Extreme Rules match with RobVanDam at ''ECW One Night Stand 2006'' and his No-DQ Iron Man Match with Randy Orton at ''Bragging Rights'' in 2009.
** Gives one to {{Wrestler/Kane}} in revenge for what Kane had done to ZackRyder.
* NoSell: Cena has been criticized for doing this quite a bit since his rise to the main event.
* ObviousRulePatch: "Babyface must join the heel faction" angles usually have the rather glaring PlotHole that the babyface doesn't really ''need'' to stay in the group and do as he's told. Raw's anonymous GM fixed that up by declaring that Cena would be fired unless he did as [[TheNexus Wade Barrett]] commanded.
* PecFlex: While he dosen't really do it, there are some instances where one of his pecs would flex. But you have to pay close attention.
* PetTheDog: After DanielBryan was unceremoniously fired after [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome the NXT Riot]], he got on his {{Twitter}} feed and proclaimed that he should be given another chance, including Cena wanting to have a proper match with him.
* PopularityPower:
** Just one of the reasons Cena's pushed as WWE's current-day HulkHogan.
** In a rather GenreSavvy moment, he used this to force VinceMcMahon to let Punk come back to get the match he'd earned.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** The 10/25/10 edition of RAW saw Cena slipping in a "damn" into his rant against WadeBarrett. In PG-WWE, where swear words are just not used, this was used to show that things have gotten serious, to great effect.
** He said on the 1/10/11 edition that he would kick CMPunk's ass.
** Hit EveTorres with a pretty strong one on a recent RAW (ItMakesSenseInContext). Comparing her to [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]], Cena rounds off his promo with "You're perfect for each other! You're both [[strike:pretentious]] scandalous '''bitches.'''"
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: As the Dr. Of Thuganomics.
* TheRival: {{Batista}} ever since the 2005 RoyalRumble until Big Dave's FaceHeelTurn in late 2009. By the time of their {{Wrestlemania}} 26 encounter, Batista is portrayed as the RivalTurnedEvil.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge:
** [[spoiler: After being 'fired' from TheNexus,]] Cena's recent backstage sneak attacks on [[TheNexus Nexus]] members.
** Goes on another against {{Wrestler/Kane}} for what Kane had done to ZackRyder.
* RoguesGallery: {{Edge}}, RandyOrton, KurtAngle, TheNexus, BrockLesnar, [[JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]], TheBigShow, TheMiz, {{Batista}}, {{Wrestler/Kane}} and finally, [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]].
* SelfDeprecation: His retirement speech.
** Also some of his promos concerning The Rock.
* SemperFi: As mentioned he played a Marine in... well, ''[[TheMarine The]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Marine]]''. This had ebbed over into his wrestling character and even been used for his SmackdownVsRaw storyline.
* SigilSpam: Shirts, wristbands, titantron, stage graphics, his hand sign is visible nearly everywhere.
* SignificantMonogram: Not intentional, Or is it?
* {{Spoonerism}}: Ruck Fules!
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** Since 2005, Cena has competed in one of the world championship matches in every ''Wrestlemania'' and has so far lost only twice.
** Since 2006 his title matches at ''Wrestlemania'' were always at the main event or higher in the card despite his challenger or he himself didn't won the ''RoyalRumble''. Subverted in 2008, ironically, when he won the ''Rumble'', but his title match wasn't in the [[{{Edge}} main]] [[TheUndertaker event]]. And in 2009, where the actual ''Rumble'' [[RandyOrton winner]] challenged [[TripleH the champion]] in that year's ''WM'' main event.
* StopBeingStereotypical: There's a small but growing number of [[SmartMark Smarks]] that are honestly getting tired of the endless Cena bashing. It's not that they like him, it's just that after five years, it's obvious that WWE aren't going to change anything and have basically come to accept that Cena's just something they have to deal with. Now they just feel like it would be a much better use of time and effort to critique the other aspects of WWE that piss them off.
* SmugSuper: Whenever Cena has to deal with his detractors, he will do it with the smugest, shit-eating grin possible and rub it in ''everyone's'' face. His feud with the Rock made for a lot of examples.
* TakeThat: {{Kayfabe}} example. During his feud with BrockLesnar in early 2003, he named his finishing move "The F-U" as a dig at Lesnar, whose finishing move was "The F-5."
* TakeThatAudience: There was a group of Anti-Cena fans sitting in the front row at Wrestlemania XXVI. After winning the match, JohnCena responded by posing in front of them.
** He does this every now and then.
* TakeThatKiss: To Vicki Guerrero in his handicap match against her and Dolph Ziggler.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In the autumn of 2010. It lasted a little longer than ten minutes, and he was never really gone ''per se'' since he still lingered in the crowd and jumped members of Nexus backstage at random, but it still applied.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Gives a pretty good one to VinceMcMahon on the July 19th, 2011 episode of RAW, calling Vince out on the MontrealScrewjob and his attempt to do it again the previous night, chewing him out on what it'd done to ShawnMichaels career.
** He topped that with an even better one at the end of the post-Survivor Series '11 Raw. How better? [[spoiler: He dismantled [[TheMiz Awesome]] [[RonKillings Truth]] without even laying so much as a finger on either of the two.]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: During his feud with Carlito, Cena was apparently "stabbed" in the back by Carlito's lackey at a night club. He never showed any ill effects. EddieGuerrero even hung a lampshade on it later on, mentioning that his (non-existent) scar had healed up pretty well.
* UnknownRival:
** He has his in [[TedBaxter the Miz]], who has despised JohnCena since the beginning of his WWE run and has continued to despise him ever since, JohnCena... used him as [[SquashMatch batting practice]] for his actual feud with {{Batista}}, and has never even cut a promo against him.
** Miz eventually [[TookALevelInBadass took enough levels in Badass]] to become a legitimate ArchEnemy to Cena.
* UnnecessaryRoughness:
** Probably as far as [[LighterAndSofter PG-WWE]] goes, his Attitude Adjustment to [[TheNexus Justin Gabriel]] ''onto (and almost through) the windshield of a car'' on the 11-29-10 episode of [[WWERaw RAW]] probably counts as this.
** Dropping about 25 chairs or so onto Wade Barrett ''after'' decisively defeating him at the 2011 WWE TLC pay-per-view likely counts.
** He was certainly going for this when he beat the crap out of [[JerkJock Jack]] [[{{Eagleland}} Swagger]]...and almost succeeded. [[hottip:The Context:After Kane injured ZackRyder by chokeslamming him off a platform the week before, Ryder was put in a US Title match with Swagger despite not being medically cleared to complete. John Laurinaitis gave Cena the match against Swagger to calm him down.]] Let's put it this way. Before {{Wrestler/Kane}}'s promo stopped him, Cena was about to give Swagger a one-man Con-chair-to...''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill with steel steps.]]''
** The Monday Night Raw after the 2012 Royal Rumble made Cena finally beat down Kane for all the abuse and crap he gave to Ryder. The only thing that remains is whether Cena will do as Kane says and embrace the hatred.
* WeaponOfChoice: While in his "rapper" gimmick, Cena's favorite weapon was his lock-and-chain necklace. Along with those "''custom brass knucks''" too. Even his customized belts.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Going down with a serious injury literally days before he was to drop the WWE Championship at ''Unforgiven 2007'' to RandyOrton in what would most likely have been another intensifier to their already red-hot feud.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** In his '06 feud with {{Edge}}, Cena would often beat up Lita without any kind of provocation for no real reason, not to mention accuse her of carrying various sexually transmitted diseases around the locker room [[ArtisticLicenseBiology without anything remotely resembling biological proof or common sense]].
** His late 2010-early 2011 feud with CMPunk was initiated by Punk getting tired of Cena's supposedly "unheroic" actions, and particularly set off by his reaction to Cena [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill dropping 25 chairs from the WWE TLC set onto Nexus leader Wade Barrett]]. Perhaps fittingly, Punk switched targets rather quickly - to RandyOrton, who, if anything, gets more of the DesignatedHero treatment than Cena does.
** ZackRyder recently caught Cena kissing Zack's love interest Eve Torres after saving her from {{Wrestler/Kane}}. Needless to say, Ryder was none to pleased to see Cena supposedly macking it off with Eve, as he even ''slapped'' Cena in the face when confronting him.
** Even if EveTorres had [[TookALevelInJerkass taken a ''serious'' level in Jerkass]], one does have to wonder whether the tongue-lashing he gave Eve, leaving her a sobbing wreck in the ring to the point where officials had to help her out, wasn't a bit excessive.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Cena has won various matches with the FU or STFU, even a ''First Blood Match''.
* WorthyOpponent: CMPunk has been the one guy to consistently get the better of Cena, both on the mic and in the ring, particularly their epic match at Money in the Bank 2011. They're a perfect contrast of personalities and wrestling style, all of which meshes really well in the ring, and they've increasingly found themselves chafing equally at the outside meddling of the likes of TripleH, VinceMcMahon, and John Laurinaitis. Also, both have shown some degree of respect for one another, CMPunk admitting he does have respect for Cena and Cena outright congratulating Punk for a great match even though Cena was the loser. Cena even went out of his way to ensure Punk got a fair match that he deserved.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Punk stated this, explaining how Cena (and moreover his hometown of Boston) was no longer an underdog, but now the face of the industry. The Boston Red Sox? More like the ''New York Yankees''. Keep in mind that this speech was said in Boston pretty much insulting Cena in front of his hometown fans.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: When Kane praised him for inadvertently ruining Zack Ryder and Eve Torres' relationship, declaring that he had ''finally'' embraced the hate.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle:
** JOHN CENA HAS DEFEATED WADE BARRETT AND THE NEXUS! Oh wait, CMPunk's BerserkButton was finally bit by a WhatTheHellHero moment? He's gone on to become the leader of Nexus in Barrett's place? Enjoy!
** Also goes down in history as the very first victim of a Money In The Bank cash-in, courtesy, of course, of {{Edge}}.

'''John Felix Anthony Cena''' born April 23, 1977. The 21st century equivalent of HulkHogan, JohnCena is one of the biggest, if not the biggest, superstar in [[{{WWE}} World Wrestling Entertainment]], with a nearly decade-long career that's seen him rise through the ranks of the company to become one of its biggest success stories, holding numerous titles and main eventing several ''{{WrestleMania}}s'' in the process. He is currently competing on the [[WWERaw Raw]] brand.
Additionally, Cena has also dabbled in rap music (including releasing a full album, ''You Can't See Me'') and has starred in ''TheMarine'', ''12 Rounds'', ''Legendary'', and ''The Reunion'', films produced by WWE's film division.
You can read about his career in both wrestling and acting over at [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Cena Wikipedia.]]
-----
!!'''Tropes associated with John Cena include:'''
* AintNoRule: See CombatPragmatist. Ain't no rule that says [[DuctTapeForEverything you can't duct-tape your opponent]]'s legs behind the ringpost to ''ensure'' they can't make it to their feet in a Last Man Standing match.
* AllAmericanFace: (Part of) Cena's current persona.
* ArchEnemy: Even when they're both faces, it's clear Cena and RandyOrton can't stand each other. Same can be said about [[DwayneJohnson The Rock.]]
** OlderThanYouThink: They haven't liked each other since their days in ''OVW'', dating back to when John Cena was still The Prototype. [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVeih_Gqakc Watch here.]]
** And of course there's BrockLesnar.
* ArtisticLicenseBiology: Homeboy once claimed Lita gave him gonorrhea by shaking his hand. And that was in ''2005''. Once the actual Cena-Edge feud got going in '06, he got even worse about this.
** That was kind of the point. He was saying that Lita is so disease-ridden that you can catch something just by being in the same room. He was deliberately trying to shame Lita by deliberately trying to go BeyondTheImpossible.
* BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame: Attempted to do this to [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]] at ''{{WrestleMania}} 28'', by trying to use the People's Elbow to finish Rock off, only for it to backfire & cost Cena the match. Humorously, this was something Rock himself did somewhat frequently in his career.
* BerserkButton: Good God, don't ever try to harm ZackRyder in front of Cena. Just ask Jack Swagger.
** Nor should you compare him to the New York Yankees in his ''hometown''.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: He's the guy that everyone likes, or the guy who will beat you up mercilessly either with his fists or with his words.
* BigBrotherMentor: Seems to be this to ZackRyder...[[FridgeBrilliance which makes sense if you think about it.]] Much like Ryder, Cena started out as something of a comic relief heel - until he gained such a fan following that the WWE turned him face and put the United States Championship on him (the only difference is that for Zack it was either get noticed or be fired). The smarks in the IWC certainly hope that's where the comparisons stop.
* BrassBalls: Cena has had a couple of these moments, but a recent one that really stands out is walking to the middle of the ring and slapping BrockLesnar right across the face.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: [[OnceAnEpisode During every entrance,]] Cena says something straight into the camera.
* CatchPhrase:
** "THE CHAMP IS HERE!"
** "You Can't See Me!"
** "Hustle Loyalty Respect", though Cena curiously doesn't say it on a frequent basis like the above two phrases.
* CelebrityResemblance:
** [[MarkWahlberg Marky Mark]]!
** And he dressed as Music/VanillaIce for Halloween, which kicked off the Dr. of Thuganomics gimmick.
* ChainedByFashion: During his Dr. of Thuganomics gimmick.
* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: By his own admission, he's not the greatest wrestler. He's strong enough to carry multiple wrestlers on his shoulders.
* CharlieBrownFromOuttaTown: What his new "Mexican cousin" Juan Cena alias was shaping up to be before it was canned.
* TheChewToy: 2012 has so far not been a good year for Cena. He was terrorized by {{Kane}} for the first part of the year, being forced to helplessly watch his best but ZackRyder be made an example of, then he lost his Wrestlemania match with [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]] due to him trying to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat Rocky at his own game]] when he could of won the match otherwise, then the next night on RAW, when calling out The Rock to congratulate him for his victory he was laid out by a returning BrockLesnar.
* CombatPragmatist:
** He beat {{Batista}} in a Last Man Standing match at Extreme Rules 2010 with ''[[DuctTapeForEverything duct tape]]''. He also beat Umaga at Royal Rumble 2007 with a broken ring rope.
** An even cleverer finish would be back when he had first won the WWE Championship and was defending against JBL in a ''WrestleMania'' "I Quit" rematch: playing on JBL's obvious cowardice, he threatened to viciously maim him with a pipe in order to goad JBL into quitting.

%% Admin Notice: The 'Crowning' stuff goes on the crowning pages, not here.
%%
* CorruptTheCutie:
** His current feud against {{Wrestler/Kane}}, where the Big Red Monster has been determined to make the [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure-hearted]] Cena "embrace the hate" as of late. After multiple attacks on ZackRyder, including a chokeslam that ended up sending Ryder through the stage and to the hospital with a broken back, he seems to be succeeding. Cena nearly gave Swagger a one man Con-chair-to with ''steel steps'' and the 1/30/12 beat down he gave to Kane is showing that there is something that's happening to him.
** Note that during his beatdown of Kane that he seemed unnaturally happy, along with the somewhat random "We're gonna party up in here!" during it.
** On the 2/13/12 RAW it seemed like he was ''just about'' to clock Ryder in the face [[spoiler: After Ryder saw John accidentally kissing his girlfriend Eve due to John trying to save her from Kane.]]
** Given that Cena decidedly beat Kane in an Ambulance Match at ''Elimination Chamber'', perhaps he may have finally risen above the hatred.
* CrowdSong: "Let's go, Cena. Cena Sucks" It's working ''really'' well with his current feud with Kane.
* {{Determinator}}:
** As part of his gimmick, but also arguably just the man ''himself.'' When JohnCena suffers a major injury, expect him to come back from it in half the amount of time it would take anyone else.
** This trope is the reason Cena is kayfabe on the top of the food chain. He's admitted he isn't the best wrestler or the strongest but he never, ever quits while he's still conscious.

* DyeHard: Went blond for a while as The Prototype.
* EnemyMine: He's had several short reigns as a Tag champion, and most of them have been like this? His runs with TheMiz and [[TheNexus David Otunga]] played it pretty straight. (Neither reign lasted more than a day, and coincidentally, he lost both titles to the same team - also from TheNexus.)
** Subverted with his team-up with {{Batista}}. The two obviously couldn't stand each other and their inability to work together cost them the titles a week after winning them.
** Also subverted with [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]]. They teamed against [[TheMiz Awesome]] [[RonKillings Truth]] and won...but the match ended up becoming a junk-measuring contest between the two, and ended with Cena catching a Rock Bottom.
* ExactWords: How he kept Barrett from winning the Championship.
** To elaborate: Barrett told Cena, who would guest-ref the former's WWE Championship match against RandyOrton that if he were to lose, Cena would be fired. Barrett won... through Cena disqualifying Orton, which kept the gold in the Viper's hands.
* ExtremeDoormat: To WadeBarrett, unwillingly.
* FinishingMove: The Attitude Adjustment (formerly the "F-U", a shot at the "F-5" finishing maneuver of Brock Lesnar); the STF (formerly the "STF-U"). The Protobomb as The Prototype.
* FirstNameBasis: With {{Batista}}, Cena always called him Dave.
* FiveMovesOfDoom: Currently: Shoulder tackle x 2, [[hottip:Blue Thunder Powerbomb: Formerly known as the Protobomb when it was used as a finisher]] Five Knuckle Shuffle, Attitude Adjustment.
** Most of the time, the STF is added as a sixth move.
* FlungClothing: Does this often however when...
** He tossed his shirt into the crowd at ''ECW One Night Stand 2006''. The crowd promptly threw it back.
** This happened again on Raw's August 22 2011 episode, when he had a match against CMPunk, ''twice''.
* FriendToAllChildren: Cena has granted over 200+ wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, more than any other celebrity to date.
* GenreSavvy:
** Cena occasionally shows more 'plot awareness' than many wrestlers. For example, he knew that "It's Umaga's night off" meant Umaga was planning some sort of ambush, and (when tagging up with ShawnMichaels), fully expected Michaels to turn on him because "That's what he does".
** He used his own PopularityPower to force VinceMcMahon to give CMPunk his title shot at Money In The Bank.
** This comes again during Ryder's 2nd chance at getting a US Title match when he's in a hopeless bout against MarkHenry. It's made No-DQ and No Countout so Ryder can't garner a easy victory. However, it also means John has no qualms about coming to the ring, giving Mark an AA, and putting Ryder on top for the three count and the title shot.
* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** While they changed the names of his two finishers to be more family friendly (or in the STF's case just calling it by its real name), his theatrical fistdrop, the Five Knuckle Shuffle, is still named after a euphemism for masturbation.
** Can often get crap past the radar in promos as well. The last time he cut a rapping promo (against [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]]) included (among the use of the word [[PrecisionFStrike 'ass']]) the line "...Dwayne ain't got no Johnson." [[hottip:*:For those of you who ''don't'' know, 'johnson' is one of many euphemisms for a penis.]] ...as well as a reference to fellatio. Yeah.
** He called Dolph Ziggler "Mitch Cumsteen" once. That's not exactly PG.
*** Another time he tried to replace his nickname "Show"off with, Jerk. Dolph immediately stops him before he could complete it.
** Calling Eve Torres[[hottip:*:Who did turn heel after admitting that she was "using" ZackRyder and had similar plans for Cena...]] a "hoeski"? Yeah, not PG at all.
*** He would also allude to her having an STD. Definitely not PG.
** '''March. 12. 2012.''' Holy crap. Cena [[spoiler: in his [[PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy old school]] gimmick and attire]] didn't even bother trying to sneak past the radar. He mowed the damn thing down with a tank, sitting on top of the tank with both fingers flying.
* HeelFaceTurn: Cena's first heel run as Dr. of Thuganomics saw him cutting raps on everyone and insulting them in a very humorous manner, which lead the fans to cheer for more and more, which lead to his {{Face}} turn, and eventually becoming ''the'' face of the company.
* HeWhoFightsMonsters: Invoked during his recent feud with {{Wrestler/Kane}}.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: How he lost to The Rock at ''{{WrestleMania}} 28'' - Cena had Rock set-up for the 5-Knuckle Shuffle, but instead decided to [[BeatThemAtTheirOwnGame beat him with the People's Elbow]]... Only for Rock to get-up & hit Cena with a Rock Bottom as he comes off the ropes for the second time.
* HonorBeforeReason: Cena is often like this when it comes to the integrity of the WWE Championship. He refused to help Wade Barret cheat to win it during the [[TheNexus Nexus]] angle and prevented VinceMcMahon from re-enacting the MontrealScrewjob in his ''Money in the Bank'' match against CMPunk, even though the former led to his being fired [[TenMinuteRetirement (for a while)]] and the latter almost did too.
* HotBlooded: Some of Cena's (better) promos fall into this territory.
* HowMuchMoreCanHeTake: Ever since he turned face, any time Cena is in a gimmick match this will invariably happen to him.
* InsultBackfire:
** During the Viewers' Choice Raw match with CMPunk (prior to TheNexus's debut riot), fans started up a "You can't wrestle!" chant. Cena promptly performed a slick series of chain wrestling reversals that silenced the audience. This also happened during the infamous ''One Night Stand'' match. The Mutants kept yelling "YOU CAN'T WRESTLE", before Cena performed a sequence of wrestling holds and submissions, at which point they started chanting "SAME OLD SHIT!"... until Cena jumped from the top rope to RVD outside the ring. The ECW Mutants shot back with "[[UnpleasableFanbase YOU STILL SUCK!]]".
** Happened again to CMPunk when he aired a promo from the Rock making fun of Cena for his BrokenBase, Punk himself doing the same thing. See LampshadeHanging below and you can probably figure out how Cena responded.
** This happened recently on the post-Survivor Series Raw when Awesome Truth (TheMiz and [[RonKillings R-Truth]]) decided to mock Cena for having the Madison Square Garden fans all booing him the night before, and cheering The Rock. Of course, Cena turned the attempted insult right around into a brilliant TheReasonYouSuckSpeech so magnificent... [[spoiler: that he broke up Awesome Truth without even laying a finger on Miz or Truth.]]
* KidAppealCharacter:
** His gimmick is hated by adult male fans, at least tolerated by female fans because [[EstrogenBrigadeBait women love Cena himself]], and very much beloved by children.
** Lampshaded this outright during his 11/22 retirement speech: He asked the women and kids to scream "Let's go, Cena!" and all the guys to yell back "Cena sucks!" one more time.
* LanternJawOfJustice: [[http://www.johncena4u.com/chain-gang/2007/09/john-cena79.jpg Have you seen the chin on this man?]]
* LampshadeHanging:
** In Cena's [[KayFabe goodbye speech]], he does this to his fanbase, by having "all the girls and little kids say "Let's Go Cena" and all the dudes over 18 say "Cena sucks".
** Is ''very'' aware of the mixed reaction he gets from the fans and references it almost weekly.
* LargeHam:
** At this point, it's possible that fans tune into Raw just to see how much scenery he will chew.
--> "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxxK20_f-f8 BALONEY, FUDGE, AND MUSTARD! MY LIFE IS BEING RUINED BY THE INTERNET!]]"
** Talking quietly to convey seriousness '''AND THEN YELLING LOUDLY TO CONVEY INTENSITY!!!'''
** You know the scary part? Age has mellowed him. Watch him doing "Five Questions with The Champ/with John Cena," they give him five questions from fans, turn on a camera, and let it roll, and Cena usually like an over-caffeinated squirrel the entire time. Many of them are on Youtube, [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mUfx-yaPMY enjoy.]]
* {{Leitmotif}}: "Basic Thuganomics" and "The Time is Now", [[DoItYourselfThemeTune both of which Cena recorded himself]].
* [[MeanCharacterNiceActor Nice Character, Nice Actor]]: This plays pretty straight, [[WeWantOurJerkBack to the chagrin]] [[InvincibleHero of some,]] and LoveItOrHateIt, it's the reason he's so marketable. As the {{Misblamed}} entry states, it's pretty obvious that his perpetual push is more a result of WWE's booking decisions than any politicking done on his part.
* MoneyDearBoy: The reason for Cena's current face gimmick has lasted as long as it has. He has drawn in tons of money for {{WWE}} which has made them afraid of changing his character at all.
* MontrealScrewjob: Invoked and defied in his Money in the Bank 2011 match against CM Punk. Michael Cole mentioned that Bret Hart tried to leave the (then) WWF with the title, leading to the screwjob, then Vince McMahon came in and tried to end the match without Punk tapping while Punk was in the STF. Cena stopped the hold and came out and told Vince that the match would end fair and square.
* NoHoldsBarredBeatdown:
** Cena's been involved in a few of these, including his Extreme Rules match with RobVanDam at ''ECW One Night Stand 2006'' and his No-DQ Iron Man Match with Randy Orton at ''Bragging Rights'' in 2009.
** Gives one to {{Wrestler/Kane}} in revenge for what Kane had done to ZackRyder.
* NoSell: Cena has been criticized for doing this quite a bit since his rise to the main event.
* ObviousRulePatch: "Babyface must join the heel faction" angles usually have the rather glaring PlotHole that the babyface doesn't really ''need'' to stay in the group and do as he's told. Raw's anonymous GM fixed that up by declaring that Cena would be fired unless he did as [[TheNexus Wade Barrett]] commanded.
* PecFlex: While he dosen't really do it, there are some instances where one of his pecs would flex. But you have to pay close attention.
* PetTheDog: After DanielBryan was unceremoniously fired after [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome the NXT Riot]], he got on his {{Twitter}} feed and proclaimed that he should be given another chance, including Cena wanting to have a proper match with him.
* PopularityPower:
** Just one of the reasons Cena's pushed as WWE's current-day HulkHogan.
** In a rather GenreSavvy moment, he used this to force VinceMcMahon to let Punk come back to get the match he'd earned.
* PrecisionFStrike:
** The 10/25/10 edition of RAW saw Cena slipping in a "damn" into his rant against WadeBarrett. In PG-WWE, where swear words are just not used, this was used to show that things have gotten serious, to great effect.
** He said on the 1/10/11 edition that he would kick CMPunk's ass.
** Hit EveTorres with a pretty strong one on a recent RAW (ItMakesSenseInContext). Comparing her to [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]], Cena rounds off his promo with "You're perfect for each other! You're both [[strike:pretentious]] scandalous '''bitches.'''"
* PrettyFlyForAWhiteGuy: As the Dr. Of Thuganomics.
* TheRival: {{Batista}} ever since the 2005 RoyalRumble until Big Dave's FaceHeelTurn in late 2009. By the time of their {{Wrestlemania}} 26 encounter, Batista is portrayed as the RivalTurnedEvil.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge:
** [[spoiler: After being 'fired' from TheNexus,]] Cena's recent backstage sneak attacks on [[TheNexus Nexus]] members.
** Goes on another against {{Wrestler/Kane}} for what Kane had done to ZackRyder.
* RoguesGallery: {{Edge}}, RandyOrton, KurtAngle, TheNexus, BrockLesnar, [[JohnBradshawLayfield JBL]], TheBigShow, TheMiz, {{Batista}}, {{Wrestler/Kane}} and finally, [[DwayneJohnson The Rock]].
* SelfDeprecation: His retirement speech.
** Also some of his promos concerning The Rock.
* SemperFi: As mentioned he played a Marine in... well, ''[[TheMarine The]] [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Marine]]''. This had ebbed over into his wrestling character and even been used for his SmackdownVsRaw storyline.
* SigilSpam: Shirts, wristbands, titantron, stage graphics, his hand sign is visible nearly everywhere.
* SignificantMonogram: Not intentional, Or is it?
* {{Spoonerism}}: Ruck Fules!
* SpotlightStealingSquad:
** Since 2005, Cena has competed in one of the world championship matches in every ''Wrestlemania'' and has so far lost only twice.
** Since 2006 his title matches at ''Wrestlemania'' were always at the main event or higher in the card despite his challenger or he himself didn't won the ''RoyalRumble''. Subverted in 2008, ironically, when he won the ''Rumble'', but his title match wasn't in the [[{{Edge}} main]] [[TheUndertaker event]]. And in 2009, where the actual ''Rumble'' [[RandyOrton winner]] challenged [[TripleH the champion]] in that year's ''WM'' main event.
* StopBeingStereotypical: There's a small but growing number of [[SmartMark Smarks]] that are honestly getting tired of the endless Cena bashing. It's not that they like him, it's just that after five years, it's obvious that WWE aren't going to change anything and have basically come to accept that Cena's just something they have to deal with. Now they just feel like it would be a much better use of time and effort to critique the other aspects of WWE that piss them off.
* SmugSuper: Whenever Cena has to deal with his detractors, he will do it with the smugest, shit-eating grin possible and rub it in ''everyone's'' face. His feud with the Rock made for a lot of examples.
* TakeThat: {{Kayfabe}} example. During his feud with BrockLesnar in early 2003, he named his finishing move "The F-U" as a dig at Lesnar, whose finishing move was "The F-5."
* TakeThatAudience: There was a group of Anti-Cena fans sitting in the front row at Wrestlemania XXVI. After winning the match, JohnCena responded by posing in front of them.
** He does this every now and then.
* TakeThatKiss: To Vicki Guerrero in his handicap match against her and Dolph Ziggler.
* TenMinuteRetirement: In the autumn of 2010. It lasted a little longer than ten minutes, and he was never really gone ''per se'' since he still lingered in the crowd and jumped members of Nexus backstage at random, but it still applied.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech:
** Gives a pretty good one to VinceMcMahon on the July 19th, 2011 episode of RAW, calling Vince out on the MontrealScrewjob and his attempt to do it again the previous night, chewing him out on what it'd done to ShawnMichaels career.
** He topped that with an even better one at the end of the post-Survivor Series '11 Raw. How better? [[spoiler: He dismantled [[TheMiz Awesome]] [[RonKillings Truth]] without even laying so much as a finger on either of the two.]]
* UnexplainedRecovery: During his feud with Carlito, Cena was apparently "stabbed" in the back by Carlito's lackey at a night club. He never showed any ill effects. EddieGuerrero even hung a lampshade on it later on, mentioning that his (non-existent) scar had healed up pretty well.
* UnknownRival:
** He has his in [[TedBaxter the Miz]], who has despised JohnCena since the beginning of his WWE run and has continued to despise him ever since, JohnCena... used him as [[SquashMatch batting practice]] for his actual feud with {{Batista}}, and has never even cut a promo against him.
** Miz eventually [[TookALevelInBadass took enough levels in Badass]] to become a legitimate ArchEnemy to Cena.
* UnnecessaryRoughness:
** Probably as far as [[LighterAndSofter PG-WWE]] goes, his Attitude Adjustment to [[TheNexus Justin Gabriel]] ''onto (and almost through) the windshield of a car'' on the 11-29-10 episode of [[WWERaw RAW]] probably counts as this.
** Dropping about 25 chairs or so onto Wade Barrett ''after'' decisively defeating him at the 2011 WWE TLC pay-per-view likely counts.
** He was certainly going for this when he beat the crap out of [[JerkJock Jack]] [[{{Eagleland}} Swagger]]...and almost succeeded. [[hottip:The Context:After Kane injured ZackRyder by chokeslamming him off a platform the week before, Ryder was put in a US Title match with Swagger despite not being medically cleared to complete. John Laurinaitis gave Cena the match against Swagger to calm him down.]] Let's put it this way. Before {{Wrestler/Kane}}'s promo stopped him, Cena was about to give Swagger a one-man Con-chair-to...''[[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill with steel steps.]]''
** The Monday Night Raw after the 2012 Royal Rumble made Cena finally beat down Kane for all the abuse and crap he gave to Ryder. The only thing that remains is whether Cena will do as Kane says and embrace the hatred.
* WeaponOfChoice: While in his "rapper" gimmick, Cena's favorite weapon was his lock-and-chain necklace. Along with those "''custom brass knucks''" too. Even his customized belts.
* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Going down with a serious injury literally days before he was to drop the WWE Championship at ''Unforgiven 2007'' to RandyOrton in what would most likely have been another intensifier to their already red-hot feud.
* WhatTheHellHero:
** In his '06 feud with {{Edge}}, Cena would often beat up Lita without any kind of provocation for no real reason, not to mention accuse her of carrying various sexually transmitted diseases around the locker room [[ArtisticLicenseBiology without anything remotely resembling biological proof or common sense]].
** His late 2010-early 2011 feud with CMPunk was initiated by Punk getting tired of Cena's supposedly "unheroic" actions, and particularly set off by his reaction to Cena [[TheresNoKillLikeOverkill dropping 25 chairs from the WWE TLC set onto Nexus leader Wade Barrett]]. Perhaps fittingly, Punk switched targets rather quickly - to RandyOrton, who, if anything, gets more of the DesignatedHero treatment than Cena does.
** ZackRyder recently caught Cena kissing Zack's love interest Eve Torres after saving her from {{Wrestler/Kane}}. Needless to say, Ryder was none to pleased to see Cena supposedly macking it off with Eve, as he even ''slapped'' Cena in the face when confronting him.
** Even if EveTorres had [[TookALevelInJerkass taken a ''serious'' level in Jerkass]], one does have to wonder whether the tongue-lashing he gave Eve, leaving her a sobbing wreck in the ring to the point where officials had to help her out, wasn't a bit excessive.
* WhenAllYouHaveIsAHammer: Cena has won various matches with the FU or STFU, even a ''First Blood Match''.
* WorthyOpponent: CMPunk has been the one guy to consistently get the better of Cena, both on the mic and in the ring, particularly their epic match at Money in the Bank 2011. They're a perfect contrast of personalities and wrestling style, all of which meshes really well in the ring, and they've increasingly found themselves chafing equally at the outside meddling of the likes of TripleH, VinceMcMahon, and John Laurinaitis. Also, both have shown some degree of respect for one another, CMPunk admitting he does have respect for Cena and Cena outright congratulating Punk for a great match even though Cena was the loser. Cena even went out of his way to ensure Punk got a fair match that he deserved.
* YouAreWhatYouHate: Punk stated this, explaining how Cena (and moreover his hometown of Boston) was no longer an underdog, but now the face of the industry. The Boston Red Sox? More like the ''New York Yankees''. Keep in mind that this speech was said in Boston pretty much insulting Cena in front of his hometown fans.
* YourApprovalFillsMeWithShame: When Kane praised him for inadvertently ruining Zack Ryder and Eve Torres' relationship, declaring that he had ''finally'' embraced the hate.
* YourPrincessIsInAnotherCastle:
** JOHN CENA HAS DEFEATED WADE BARRETT AND THE NEXUS! Oh wait, CMPunk's BerserkButton was finally bit by a WhatTheHellHero moment? He's gone on to become the leader of Nexus in Barrett's place? Enjoy!
** Also goes down in history as the very first victim of a Money In The Bank cash-in, courtesy, of course, of {{Edge}}.
