John Felix Anthony Cena (born April 23, 1977) is an American actor, rapper, and retired professional wrestler. Regarded as one of the greatest WWE performers of all time, Cena is most known for his time as an active wrestler with WWE from 2001 to 2025, where he is a WWE-record 17-time world champion.
Cena began professional wrestling in 1999 and signed with WWE in 2001, where he began in its then-developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW). After debuting on the main roster on SmackDown! in 2002, he rose to prominence as a brash, heel rapper before becoming the company's franchise player from the mid-2000s to the mid-2010s. He wrestled on a part-time schedule from 2017 until his retirement in December 2025. His run as a face from 2003 to 2025 was the longest continuous portrayal of a heroic character in WWE history.
Cena held numerous championships and accomplishments in WWE, including the WWE Championship a record 14 times, the World Heavyweight Championship three times, the WWE United States Championship five times, the WWE Intercontinental Championship once, and the World Tag Team Championship and WWE Tag Team Championship twice each. He is the 35th Triple Crown and 25th Grand Slam champion. Cena also won the Royal Rumble match twice, the Money in the Bank match once, and headlined multiple major WWE pay-per-view and livestreaming events, including its flagship event, WrestleMania, six times (22, 23, 27, 28, 29, and 41 – Night 2). Cena's full-time career received mixed critical and audience reception, with praise for his character work and promotional skills but criticism for his perceived over-representation and on-screen dominance relative to other wrestlers. In contrast, his later career was more positively received.
Cena began acting in 2006 and has done both comedy and action films, receiving praise for his roles in Trainwreck (2015), Blockers (2018), and The Suicide Squad (2021). He has also starred in films such as The Marine (2006), Bumblebee (2018), and F9 (2021), as well as portraying the title character in the superhero series Peacemaker (2022–2025). In music, he released the rap album You Can't See Me in 2005, which peaked at No. 15 on the Billboard 200. Cena is also known for his charity work, granting more than 650 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation, the most in the organization's history.
