WWE Superstar John Cena has been at the top of the WWE mountain for ten years.
John Cena has grown in popularity, similarly to The Rock had in the late 1990s and early 2000s. Cena has been able to gain some outside appeal.
This has helped him in getting noticed by many in Hollywood.
Due to WWE Films, Cena was able to test his acting chops. In his first movie, and WWE’s most successful solo film to date, the original The Marine film, Cena proved he could draw people to the theater. He was not a brilliant actor, but this was his first attempt at doing such a thing.
Afterward, in movies such as 12 Rounds and Legendary, Cena proved he could act. Legendary was a terrific film for Cena and a big departure role for him. It was a serious film where he played a deadbeat brother who had a washed up amateur wrestling career and was in trouble with the law a lot.
The films caught a lot of attention and many brought him in for guests spots such as shows on Nickelodeon and Disney Channel to Saturday Night Live. He has also appeared in commercials, most notably a commercial for Fruity Pebbles. Literally, that actually happened. He took Fred Flintstone off the cover of his own cereal! Oh, and the cereal sold quite well due to the campaign by the way.
Cena has proven that he is not just a wrestler, but a brand. Owning his own name, unlike “The Rock” who ended up using his lesser known real name of Dwayne Johnson after a while. Now he is known by both, depending on who you ask. Cena literally has to change nothing to be accepted into the new world he has been getting attention for.
