John Felix Anthony Cena Jr.

(/ˈsiːnə/; born April 23, 1977) is an American professional

wrestler, actor, and rapper. He is signed to WWE, where he appears for both
the Raw and SmackDown brands.
Considered to be one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all-time, Cena was born and
raised in West Newbury, Massachusetts, but moved to California in 1998, where he pursued a
career as a bodybuilder, before transitioning into professional wrestling after debuting
for Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW) in 1999. Cena soon signed with the World Wrestling
Federation (WWF, now WWE) in 2000.
In WWE, Cena gained industry fame after adopting a persona of a villainous trash-talking
rapper,[10][11] and won his first singles title, the United States Championship, in 2004. After winning
the WWE Championship a year later, Cena's character transitioned into a heroic "goody-two
shoesSuperman",[12] and subsequently led the company as its franchise player[13] and public face
for the next decade,[14] gaining mainstream fame in the process.
