History Wrestling / JohnCena

** What began as a rivalry born out of respect with Wrestling/CMPunk got much nastier, especially since Punk is the one guy who's consistently gotten the better of Cena. General agreement is that despite the company's original attempts to portray Cena's feud with Orton as his greatest rivalry, Punk was Cena's actual greatest rival, with Edge a distant second. On top of their characters being perfect {{foil}}s to each other, they had insane chemistry on both the mic and ''especially'' in the ring, to the point that some of the greatest matches in WWE history have been between them.

** Then of course there's Wrestling/BrockLesnar whom he had a feud with in 2003 and in 2012. His long-running blood feud with Wrestling/{{Edge}} began in 2006. And what began as a rivalry born out of respect with Wrestling/CMPunk got much nastier, especially since Punk is the one guy who's consistently gotten the better of Cena.

* StaticCharacter: His "The Champ" persona is this. Notable because he actively wears the fact he is a static character and refuses to change whatsoever no matter what happens in any story or he's placed against.

Jonathan Felix Anthony Cena Jr. (born April 23, 1977) is an American {{Professional Wrestl|ing}}er currently working for the Wrestling/{{WWE}}. With a career spanning over 10 years, he rose through the pits of the midcard to become a legitimate success story, and is widely regarded as one of the biggest, if not ''the'' biggest superstar to ever grace WWE, and the 21st century equivalent of Wrestling/HulkHogan.

** This was the reason he gave for not participating in the Raw walk out. Whereas many of the strikers were relatively new and had only known ''Raw'' with Wrestling/TripleH as GM, Cena as a long-runner had experienced the management styles of Wrestling/VinceMcMahon, Wrestling/EricBischoff, Wrestling/VickieGuerrero and "56 celebrity General Managers". In comparison to all of that, he decided Triple H wasn't so bad, despite his personal dislike for Trips.

** Arguably in RealLife, but ''definitely'' booked this way - sometimes to [[InvincibleHero nonsensical levels.]] He is the idol of millions of children and his #1 catch phrase is "Never give up". The very idea of having little kids see their hero give up and tap out because of too much ''pain?'' What kind of message would it send to the kids if the man who never quits and never gives up is beaten by a '''heel'''? That evil prevails? Can't have that. (Also, he sells a shit-ton of merch that says "NEVER GIVE UP". That's a consideration, too.)

Additionally, he has also dabbled in Rap music (including releasing a full album, ''You Can't See Me'') and has starred in ''Film/TheMarine'', ''Film/TwelveRounds'', ''Legendary'', and ''The Reunion'', films produced by WWE's film division. He also played Fred's imaginary dad in the three ''WebVideo/{{Fred}}'' movies, and voiced the title character in Creator/BlueSkyStudios' animated film, ''WesternAnimation/{{Ferdinand}}''. He is also carving out a niche as a comedic actor, portraying a oblivious lunkhead in ''Film/{{Trainwreck}}'' and put on a fairly convincing Austrian accent to portray 'roided up cyclist Gustav Ditters in ''Film/TourDePharmacy''. He also starred as overprotective dad Mitchell in 2018 comedy ''Film/{{Blockers}}''. More recently, he starred as Agent Jack Burns in 2018's ''Film/{{Bumblebee}}'', and as Jake Carson in 2019's ''Playing with Fire''. He also joined the ''[[Film/TheFastAndTheFurious Fast and Furious]]'' franchise in 2021’s ''Film/{{F9}}'' as Jacob Torreto. He was also cast in Creator/JamesGunn's Franchise/DCExtendedUniverse film, ''Film/TheSuicideSquad'' as [[Characters/DCEUPeacemaker Peacemaker]], which he subsequently reprised in the Creator/HBOMax series ''Series/{{Peacemaker|2022}}''.

** Then there's Wrestling/{{Batista}}, whom he briefly feuded with in 2008 and came full swing in 2010. Both became world champions at ''[=WrestleMania=] 21'' and were the faces of their respective brands (Raw for Cena, [=SmackDown=] for Batista) Both men respect each other and teamed up on occasions (even briefly becoming World Tag Team Champions), but Batista became the RivalTurnedEvil as he grew jealous of Cena being the face of the company as a whole instead of him. Cena had never beaten Batista until finally doing so at ''[=WrestleMania=] XXVI'' and would go on to beat him two more times at the following [=pay-per-views=], with their "I Quit" match at ''Over the Limit'' ending their rivalry and resulting in Batista quitting the company for four years out of frustration over losing to Cena in ''three straight [=pay-per-views=]'' (though new Raw General Manager Wrestling/BretHart showing NoSympathy towards his injuries from his third loss was the last straw for him).
