John Cena Reveals How He Saved Himself From Getting Fired By WWE

John Cena is a 16-time World Champion and carried the company on his back throughout the PG era. From 2017 John Cena became a part-timer in WWE and has appeared sporadically due to his busy schedule in Hollywood.

However, John Cena was not always interested in becoming a professional wrestler and certainly had a long journey ahead of him before he could realize his potential as a professional wrestler.

When Cena started his career in WWE, many fans felt he was a generic babyface and Cena was dangerously close to being fired by the company as well.

While speaking to Buzzfeed, John Cena talked about how he saved himself from getting fired by WWE. It ultimately came down to him freestyling a WWE tour that saved his career.

“So I debuted as John Cena, the most stale, unentertaining character you can imagine, and was just about to be fired after a year and a half of me trying to connect with the audience. On what was supposed to be one of my last tours – when we go overseas we all travel together – and in the back of the bus, people were freestyling. I remember I just went back and joined in and in the front of the bus, the creative department was like ‘hey how did you remember all that?’”

John Cena began his WWE career back in 2002 and eventually went on to become one of the biggest names in the history of the business, transcending barriers.
