Partial Source: The Wrestling Observer As noted earlier here on the website, Super Luchas reports that masked Mexican professional wrestler Averno has signed a contract with WWE. He is crossing over to the sports entertainment organization as an unmasked heel to work with Sin Cara on the SmackDown! brand. He is expected to lose his mask to La Mascara at CMLL's next big event, which takes place on June 17.
Averno had a tryout match with WWE last October and performed well, but was not signed due to concern over his age—34 years old. A deal was completed recently when company officials asked Sin Cara who he would most like to work with and he suggested Averno. WWE asked for his advice since most of the organization's talent haven yet to adapt to his style of wrestling and therefore isn't performing up to par. Averno, his longtime rival in CMLL, can work his style and showcase his strengths.
WWE is also considering signing two other young CMLL luchadors. It should also be noted that word is that the political environment in CMLL is not at all stable, and this is making things worse for them.

The Miz golfs 'fore' charity

CROMWELL, Conn. – Not even pouring rain could stop The Miz from being “Awesome” on the golf course. The WWE Superstar entertained and delighted the WWE Universe and PGA Tour fans in his first, albeit wet, Travelers Celebrity Pro-Am to help raise funds for charity. (PHOTOS | WATCH)
“Whenever I can get out and go golfing, especially for a good cause, it always makes everything worthwhile,” The Miz said.
While their star-studded team didn’t win the Pro-Am, The Miz, Academy Award-winning actor Joe Pesci, New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski and PGA Tour professional Vaughn Taylor drew the largest, most animated crowd on the TPC River Highlands course.
“It was my first time ever playing here and it was incredible. I think a lot of my shots were better than Vaughn’s, who was our pro today,” The Miz joked.
“Gronkowski, Joe Pesci and myself kept the crowd alive. And they were loud! They were cheering, they were booing.”
Each year the Travelers Championship donates its net proceeds to 130 Connecticut charities. One of the organizations the Pro-Am helped raise funds for is Connecticut’s Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, a center founded in 1988 by Paul Newman that helps children with cancer, sickle cell anemia and other illnesses. The Miz met several childThe Miz meets kids from Connecticut's Hole in the Wall Gang Camp.ren from the camp before the Pro-Am.
“We’re raising money for kids with illnesses who can go to a camp to feel normal, feel like they can do whatever they want to do. It’s a pretty great camp,” the former WWE Champion said.
After a morning rain delay, The Miz and his foursome kicked off nine holes of golf. Despite wet course conditions and a few sprinkles which again turned into downpours, the WWE Superstar refused to quit – or even put on a rain jacket.
“I was in the rough a few times and I got out of it pretty good, I think. I hit a lot of great shots. The problem is, I don’t get to practice that much because WWE is always traveling 250 days a year. I don’t have time to golf,” The Miz explained. “So it was actually great to get out there again. It reminded me of back in the day when I used to go with my dad all the time, except I didn’t have my dad yelling at me the entire time, which was great. Instead I had Joe Pesci.”
The Superstar revealed that Pesci had plenty to say about The Awesome One’s abilities on the links.
“Basically [Pesci’s] quote was, ‘Character-wise, The Miz is worse than Bill Murray on a golf course,’ which I will take as a compliment. Bill Murray is one of the greatest actors and comedians of all time. And if I am better than him at something, especially on the golf course, that’s fantastic for me. So Joe Pesci enjoyed playing with me.”
The dedicated Mizfits in the crowd – complete with “Hello, I’m Awesome” T-shirts – remained until the 9th hole, cheering their favorite WWE Superstar through difficult, wet shots in the rough.
“There were a ton of Mizfits out there. I was shocked. And they walked with us the entire time, which was incredible. I think they saw that I am the greatest golfer in the world. I will entertain them in the ring, as well as on the golf course,” The Miz said.
The Miz stopped to pose for photos and sign autographs for many of The Mizfits at the TPC River Highlands, including Steve Fiano of Bolton, Conn., who, with a friend, waited outside in the rain since 7 a.m. to see their favorite Superstar.
“You don’t really get a chance to meet a guy like him too often, so I had to come out and see him,” Fiano said. “It’s worth it for The Miz. If anybody else was here, we wouldn’t be here, but The Miz is here, so that’s awesome.”
While on the links, The Miz even discovered a possible (and equally-imposing) new tag team partner – the 6-foRob Gronkowski golfs with The Miz and Joe Pesciot-6, 265-pound NFL player, Gronkowski.
“The Gronk & The Miz – I think we’ll be a great tag team with WWE, as well as a great tag team with the Patriots. If he ever needs me out there to run a route, to make some blocking for him, I will have no problem doing that. If I need him in the ring, he’s there for me. Maybe he can tackle someone and I can Skull-Crushing Finale the person. It’ll be great.”
And as for the professional golfers, The Miz is certain he’s met his match in one of the PGA Tour’s most colorful players, former PGA Championship and British Open winner, John Daly.
“He’s a great guy and I talked to him for a little bit. … He actually had a shirt that said ‘Loudmouth,’” The Miz explained, referring to Daly’s partnership with the Loudmouth Golf clothing line. “I like to think of it as the biggest loudmouth on the golf course versus the biggest loudmouth in WWE. So if it’s The Miz vs. John Daly – who’s going to win? I think the fans.”

Early life

Cena, who is of Irish and Italian descent was born April 23, 1977, in West Newbury, Massachusetts,[4] the son of Carol and John Cena, Sr.[12] He is the second eldest of five brothers – Dan, Matt, Steve, and Sean.[13] After graduating from Cushing Academy, Cena attended Springfield College in Springfield, Massachusetts.[14] In college he was a Division III All-American center on the college football team,[15] wearing the number 54,[14] which is still used on some of his WWE merchandise.[16][17] He graduated from Springfield in 1998 with a degree in exercise physiology,[18] after which he pursued a career in bodybuilding,[19][20] and also worked as a chauffeur for a limousine company.[21]

Professional wrestling career

Training (2000-2001)

UPW

Cena started training to become a professional wrestler in 2000 at the California-based "Ultimate University" operated by Ultimate Pro Wrestling. Once he was placed into an in-ring role, Cena began using a semi-robotic character known as The Prototype.[22][23] Some of this period of his career was documented in the Discovery Channel program Inside Pro Wrestling School.[24] While in UPW, Cena held the UPW Heavyweight Championship for just shy of a month in April 2000.[25]

OVW

In 2001, he signed a developmental contract with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) and was assigned to its developmental territory Ohio Valley Wrestling (OVW).[26] During his time there, Cena wrestled as both The Prototype and Mr. P, and held the OVW Heavyweight Championship for three months and the OVW Southern Tag Team Championship (with Rico Constantino) for two months.[27][28][29]

World Wrestling Entertainment (2002–present)

Debut (2002–03)

Cena performing an FU (now "Attitude Adjustment") to Kurt Angle.
Cena made his television debut answering an open challenge by Kurt Angle on June 27, 2002.[30] Inspired by a speech given by WWE Chairman Vince McMahon to the rising stars of the company, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a place among the legends, Cena took advantage of the opportunity and almost beat Angle kicking out of his finishing move, the Angle Slam and enduring the ankle lock submission hold.[31] Cena ultimately lost to a hard amateur wrestling-style pin.[31] Following the near-win, Cena became a fan favorite and started feuding with Chris Jericho.[30] In October, Cena and Billy Kidman took part in a tag team tournament to crown the first WWE Tag Team Champions of the SmackDown! brand, losing in the first round.[32] The next week, Cena turned on and attacked Kidman, blaming him for their loss, becoming a villain.[30]
Shortly after the Kidman attack, on a Halloween themed episode of SmackDown, Cena dressed as Vanilla Ice performing a freestyle rap.[30] The next week, Cena received a new character: a rapper who cut promos while rhyming.[30] As the gimmick grew, Cena began adopting a variant of the 1980s WWF logo – dropping the "F" – as his "signature symbol", along with the slogan "Word Life".[33] Moreover, he was joined by an enforcer, Bull Buchanan, who was rechristened B-2 (also written B² and pronounced "B-Squared").[30] Buchanan was later replaced by Red Dogg,[30] until he was sent to the Raw brand in February.
For the first half of 2003, Cena sought the WWE Championship and chased the reigning champion, Brock Lesnar, performing weekly "freestyles" challenging him to matches.[34][35][36] During the feud, Cena unveiled a new finishing maneuver: the FU, a Fireman's carry powerslam, named to mock Lesnar's F-5.[37] Cena won a number one contenders tournament against Lesnar at Backlash. However, Cena was defeated by Lesnar. At Vengeance Cena lost a singles match against The Undertaker.[30][38] At the end of the year, Cena became a fan favorite again when he joined Kurt Angle as a member of his team at Survivor Series.[39][40]

United States Champion and WWE Champion (2004–05)

Cena, wearing his customized U.S. Championship belt
In early 2004, Cena participated in the Royal Rumble match at the 2004 Royal Rumble,[41] making it to the final six before being eliminated by Big Show and the Match being won by Chris Benoit.[42] The Royal Rumble elimination led to a feud with Big Show,[43][44] which Cena won the United States Championship from Big Show at WrestleMania XX.[45] During his reign, Cena came into contention with SmackDown General Manager Kurt Angle over issues arising with René Duprée and Torrie Wilson.[46] The reign ended almost four months later, when he was stripped of the belt on July 8 by Angle after he (kayfabe, accidentally) knocked him over, thus attacking an official.[47] Cena won the championship back defeating Booker T in a best of five series that culminated at No Mercy,[48] only to lose it to the debuting Carlito Caribbean Cool the next week.[49] After the loss to Carlito, the duo began a feud, which Cena was kayfabe stabbed in the kidney while at a Boston-area nightclub by Carlito's bodyguard, Jesús.[50][51] This worked injury was used to keep Cena out of action for a month, while Cena was filming The Marine.[28] Immediately on his return in November, Cena won the United States Championship back from Carlito debuting a "custom made" spinner-style championship belt.[52][53]
Cena took part in the 2005 Royal Rumble match, making it to the final two. Cena and Raw brand wrestler Batista went over the top rope at the same time, ostensibly ending the match. Vince McMahon, however, appeared on stage and re-started the match in sudden death rules, with Batista eventually eliminating Cena.[54] The next month, Cena defeated Kurt Angle to earn a spot in the SmackDown brand's WrestleMania 21 main event match,[55] beginning a feud with WWE Champion John "Bradshaw" Layfield (JBL) and his Cabinet in the process. In the early stages of the feud, Cena lost his US belt to Cabinet member Orlando Jordan,[56] who proceeded to "blow up" the spinner championship with JBL and returning a more traditional style belt.[57] Cena defeated JBL at WrestleMania winning the WWE Championship, giving Cena his first world championship.[58] Cena then had a spinner WWE Championship belt made,[59] while JBL took the original belt and claimed to still be WWE Champion,[59] until Cena reclaimed the original belt in an "I Quit" match at Judgment Day.[60]
Cena was drafted to the Raw brand on the June 6, 2005, becoming the first wrestler selected by General Manager Eric Bischoff in the annual draft lottery.[61] Cena immediately entered a feud with Bischoff, after refusing to participate in the "war" against the Extreme Championship Wrestling (ECW) roster at One Night Stand.[62] With Bischoff vowing to make Cena's stint on Raw difficult, he hand picked Jericho to take Cena's championship from him.[63] During their feud, even though Cena was portrayed as the fan favorite and Jericho as the villain, a vocal section of live crowds, nonetheless, were booing Cena during their matches.[64] More crowds followed suit during Cena's next feud with Kurt Angle,[65] who took over as Bischoff's hand-picked number-one contender after Cena defeated Jericho in a You're Fired match on the August 22 Raw.[66] As the feud continued and the dissenters grew more vocal, sometimes seeming to outnumber fans by wide margins,[67] the announce team was forced to acknowledge the booing on television and began calling Cena a "controversial champion", claiming some people disliking him on account of his "in-ring style" and his chosen fashion.[68] Despite the mixed and negative reactions, Cena held on to his championship through his feud with Angle, losing to him by disqualification[69] – which titles do not change hands in WWE – at Unforgiven and pinning him at Survivor Series.[70] The feud with Angle also saw Cena add a secondary, submission based, finishing maneuver – the STFU (a Stepover Toehold Sleeper, though named for a Stepover Toehold Facelock) – when he was put into a Triple Threat Submissions Only match on the November 28 Raw.[71]

Various feuds and injury (2006–07)

Cena facing off against Edge at a WWE house show.
Cena lost the WWE Championship at New Year's Revolution, but not in the Elimination Chamber match that he had been advertised to participate in beforehand. Instead, immediately after winning the Elimination Chamber, he was forced into a match against Edge, who cashed in his Money in the Bank contract – a "guaranteed title match for the WWE Champion at a time and place of the owners choosing." After two quick spears pinned Cena, winning the championship.[72] Three weeks later, Cena won the championship back at the Royal Rumble.[72] After winning the championship, Cena began feuding with Triple H, which the crowd began booing Cena and cheering the intended villain, Triple H.[73][74] The negative reaction intensified when facing Rob Van Dam at One Night Stand. Taking place in front of a crowd of mostly "old school" ECW fans at the Hammerstein Ballroom, Cena was met with raucous jeering and chants of "Fuck you, Cena", "You can't wrestle", and "Same old shit". When he began performing different moves into the match, the fans began chanting "You still suck". Cena lost the WWE Championship at One Night Stand, with Van Dam pinning Cena after interference from Edge.[75]
Cena, addressing fans at a Raw show
In July, after Edge won the championship from Van Dam in a Triple Threat match that also involved Cena,[76] re-ignited the feud between him and Cena from earlier in the year. After Edge went about retaining the title by dubious means – getting himself disqualified[77] (for which Championships do not change hands) and using brass knuckles[75] – he introduced his own version of Cena's "custom" belt, this one with his logo placed on the spinner.[78] Cena eventually won the championship back in a Tables, Ladders, and Chairs match at Unforgiven. The match had an added stipulation that had Cena lost he would leave the Raw brand and go to SmackDown.[79][80] Cena returned his version of the spinner belt on the next night's Raw.[81]
On the heels of his feud with Edge, Cena was placed in an inter-brand angle to determine the "Champion of Champions" – or which was the most dominant champion in WWE's three brands. Cena, the World Heavyweight Champion King Booker, and the ECW World Champion The Big Show engaged in a mini-feud leading to a Triple Threat match at Cyber Sunday, with the viewers voting on which of the three championships would be placed on the line.[82] At the same time, Cena became involved in a storyline with non-wrestler Kevin Federline, when he began appearing on Raw with Johnny Nitro and Melina. After getting into a worked physical altercation with Federline on Raw,[82] Federline appeared at Cyber Sunday to hit Cena with the World Heavyweight Championship during the match, helping King Booker retain his championship.[75] 2006 ended with Cena beginning a feud with the undefeated Umaga over the WWE Championship,[83] while 2007 began with the end of his storyline with Kevin Federline. On the first Raw of the new year, Cena was pinned by Federline with an assist from Umaga, although later in the night he was able to get his hands on Federline performing an FU on him.[84]
Cena putting his hands up meaning "Word Life"
One night after the Royal Rumble, an impromptu team of Cena and Shawn Michaels defeated Rated-RKO (Edge and Randy Orton) for the World Tag Team Championship, making Cena a double champion.[85] On the April 2 episode of Raw, after losing a WWE Championship match to Cena at WrestleMania 23,[86] Michaels turned on Cena, costing them the championship in the second of two 10 team battles royals, by throwing Cena over the top rope and eliminating the team. The Hardys (Matt and Jeff) eventually won the match and the championship.[87] For the rest of the month, Cena feuded with Michaels, Orton, and Edge until The Great Khali declared his intentions to challenge for Cena's championship attacking and "laying out" all three of the top contenders[88] before assaulting Cena himself and stealing the physical belt.[89] For the next two months, Cena feuded with Khali over the championship, eventually becoming the first person in WWE to defeat him by submission at Judgment Day[90][91] and then by pinfall at One Night Stand.[92][93] Later that summer, Randy Orton was named the number one contender for the WWE championship,[94] starting a feud between the two. Leading up to SummerSlam, Orton delivered a number of sneak-attacks, performing three RKOs to Cena, but in the actual match, Cena retained the championship.[95] A rematch between the two occurred at Unforgiven, with Orton winning by disqualification after Cena ignored the referee's instructions and continued to beat on him in the corner.[96]
During a match with Mr. Kennedy on the October 1, 2007 episode of Raw, Cena suffered a legitimate torn pectoral muscle while executing a hip toss.[97] Though finishing the match and taking part in the scripted attack by Randy Orton after the match, surgery the following day found that his pectoralis major muscle was torn completely from the bone, estimating at the time to require seven months to a year of rehabilitation.[98][99] As a result, Cena was stripped of the title in an announcement by Vince McMahon on the next night's episode of ECW,[100] ending what was the longest WWE Championship reign in over 19 years.[101] Cena's surgery was performed by orthopedic surgeon James Andrews at St. Vincent's Hospital in Birmingham, Alabama.[97] Two weeks later, in a video update on WWE.com, Dr. Andrews and Cena's physical trainer both said that he was several weeks ahead of where he was expected to be in his rehabilitation at that time.[102] Despite his injury, Cena attended the annual WWE Tribute to the Troops show filmed at Camp Speicher in Tikrit, Iraq on December 7, and aired on December 24.[103]

Return from injury (2008–10)

Cena made an unannounced return as the final participant of the Royal Rumble match, winning the match, and the traditional WrestleMania title shot, by last eliminating Triple H.[10] Instead of waiting until WrestleMania, the title shot was cashed in against WWE Champion Randy Orton at February's No Way Out pay-per-view[104] in a match where Cena won by disqualification, resulting in him not getting the championship.[105] The night after No Way Out, Cena was placed back into WrestleMania XXIV's WWE Championship match, making it a Triple Threat match also involving Triple H,[106] during which he was pinned by Orton.[107] At Backlash, Cena failed to regain the title in a Fatal Four-Way elimination match, in which he was pinned by Orton.[108] Triple H won the title during that match. During the match, Cena eliminated JBL,[108] renewing their feud from 2005. Cena defeated JBL at Judgment Day and then at One Night Stand in a First Blood match.[109][110] JBL, however, defeated him in a New York City Parking Lot Brawl at The Great American Bash in July.[111]
Cena as one half of the World Tag Team Champions
On the August 4 edition of Raw, Cena became a World Tag Team Champion for a second time, teaming with Batista to defeat Cody Rhodes and Ted DiBiase,[112] but failed to retain the titles the following week against the former champions.[113] Batista defeated Cena at SummerSlam;[114] shortly after, he was named one of four contenders for CM Punk's World Heavyweight Championship in the Championship scramble match at Unforgiven. He was replaced by Rey Mysterio, however, after announcing Cena had suffered a herniated disc in his neck, which would require surgery.[115] Cena underwent successful surgery to repair the injury.[116][117]
Cena made his in-ring return at the November pay-per-view event, Survivor Series, defeating Chris Jericho to win his first World Heavyweight Championship.[118] The two continued their rivalry up to Armageddon, where Cena retained his championship.[119] Cena lost the championship at No Way Out, to Edge after Kofi Kingston was attacked by Edge, who took his place in the Elimination Chamber match.[120] Cena was given an opportunity to regain the title at WrestleMania XXV in a Triple Threat match also involving Big Show, which Cena won.[121] Cena lost the championship back to Edge in a Last Man Standing match at Backlash after interference from Big Show, who chokeslammed Cena through a big spotlight.[122] This angle resulted in Cena beginning a feud with Big Show. Cena defeated Big Show at Judgment Day[123] and at Extreme Rules in a Submission match by applying the STFU.[124]
At the July pay-per-view, Night of Champions, he participated in a Triple Threat match for the WWE Championship, which also involved Triple H and WWE Champion Randy Orton. Cena, however, did not win the match.[125] Two months later, at Breaking Point, Cena defeated Randy Orton for the WWE Championship in an "I Quit" match to win his fourth WWE Championship.[126] At Hell in a Cell, Cena dropped the title to Orton in a Hell in a Cell match.[127] Three weeks later, at WWE Bragging Rights, Cena defeated Orton in a 60-minute Iron Man match.[128] Two months later, Cena would lose the title to Sheamus at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in a Tables match.[129]
John Cena as WWE Champion in 2010
In February 2010, Cena regained the WWE title at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view in an Elimination Chamber match after last eliminating Triple H. However, immediately after the match Mr. McMahon declared that he would immediately defend his title against Batista, who had been involved with Cena in Vince McMahon and Bret Hart's rivalry. Cena lost that match to Batista, and the WWE Championship and marking one of the shortest WWE Championship reigns in history.[130] The following night after the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view, Cena asked for a rematch for the title at WrestleMania, which McMahon gave him the opportunity to as long as he defeated Batista that night. Later that night, Batista intentionally got himself disqualified by kicking Cena in the groin to set up their match at WrestleMania XXVI.[131] At the event, Cena defeated Batista to win back the WWE title.[132] At the April pay-per-view, Extreme Rules, Cena defeated Batista in a rematch for the WWE title in a Last Man Standing match.[133] He faced Batista one more time in an I Quit match at Over the Limit which he successfully won.[134]

Feud with Nexus (2010–2011)

On the June 7, 2010 edition of RAW, which was a 3-hour Viewer's Choice episode, Cena was suddenly thrust into a new storyline when during his main event match against CM Punk, he was attacked by all eight former contestants of WWE NXT Season 1, with Wade Barrett as their leader. Punk, his follower Luke Gallows, and other personnel around the ring were attacked as well, but Cena took the worst of the attack and was carried out on a stretcher. This group would later refer to themselves as The Nexus.[135]
At June's Fatal 4-Way event, Cena lost the WWE title to Sheamus in a fatal four-way match that also involved Edge and Randy Orton due to interference by Nexus.[136] The following month, in a WWE title rematch against Sheamus in a steel cage match at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view, the group interfered, thus costing Cena the chance of regaining the championship.[137] Cena later formed an alliance with Edge, Chris Jericho, John Morrison, R-Truth, The Great Khali and Bret Hart to face the Nexus at SummerSlam, where Cena's team defeated Nexus with the returning Daniel Bryan, a former member of Nexus, who replaced Khali after getting injured.[138]
Cena being forced to read a public address by Wade Barrett while a member of Nexus.
Nexus's actions, however, did not stop after SummerSlam. Hoping to end Nexus for good, Cena challenged Wade Barrett to a match at "Hell in a Cell" only to lose due to interference by two fans, later identified as Husky Harris and Michael McGillicutty. Due to the stipulations in place, Cena was forced to join Nexus.[139] Cena had originally planned to destroy Nexus from within as a member of the group, but the Raw general manager ordered him to follow orders from Barrett, or else he would be fired. At Bragging Rights, Cena and Nexus member David Otunga defeated "Dashing" Cody Rhodes and Drew McIntyre to win the Tag Team Championship.[140]
Later on in the show, Cena was forced to help Barrett to win his WWE Championship match against Randy Orton or lose his job.[clarification needed] Cena twisted his words around and attacked Barrett[clarification needed], giving Barrett the win via disqualification but not Orton's title.[140] The following day, Cena and Otunga lost the Tag Team Championship to fellow Nexus members Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel, when Barrett ordered Otunga to lay down and lose the title.[141] At Survivor Series, Cena officiated a match for the WWE Championship between Wade Barrett and Randy Orton. As a part of a pre-match stipulation, if Barrett didn't win the championship, Cena would be fired from the WWE.
Orton defeated Barrett to retain the title, thus ending Cena's career (kayfabe) in the WWE.[142] The following day on Raw, Cena gave a farewell speech, before costing Wade Barrett the WWE Championship by interfering in his rematch with Randy Orton.[143] A week later, Cena invaded Raw, first as a spectator, but he then attacked members of Nexus, explaining that he would still take down Nexus one by one, despite not having a job in the WWE anymore.[144] On the December 13 episode of Raw, Cena was rehired by Barrett, in exchange that he would face him at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs in a Chairs Match.[145] Prior to TLC, Cena teamed up with Randy Orton and Rey Mysterio to defeat Wade Barrett, The Miz and Alberto Del Rio at The WWE Tribute to the Troops. On December 19 at TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs, John Cena was victorious against Wade Barrett in a Chairs match in the main event of the evening.
On the December 27 edition of Raw, The Nexus, minus Wade Barrett, announced they were under new management and offered to bury the hatchet with John Cena, to which Cena refused. The Nexus attacked Cena, leaving a Nexus armband in the ring during the process. As the group retreated, CM Punk, who had attacked Cena with a steel chair twice the week before, came to the ring to, what looked like attack John Cena, but instead put on the armband left behind to symbolically announce his allegiance with The Nexus.[146] The next week, Wade Barrett returned to Raw and confronted CM Punk over the issue of who the leader of The Nexus was and who was responsible for Cena's attack the week before. Barrett was placed into a Triple Threat Steel Cage Match that night that would determine the No. 1 contender for the WWE Championship. CM Punk added his own stipulation to the match saying if Barrett lost, he would be banished from the group, but if he won he would remain leader. Wade Barrett would lose the match after CM Punk interfered by ripping of Barrett's armband.[147]
On the January 17 edition of Raw, Cena returned and faced Punk in a match. During the match, a man, who would later be revealed to be Mason Ryan, attacked Cena. At the 2011 Royal Rumble Cena eliminated the majority of the Nexus members and ended their feud.

Feud with The Miz, The Rock and R-Truth and CM Punk (2011–present)

John Cena made it to the final five before being eliminated by The Miz, who was not officially a participant in the match. On the January 31 edition of Raw, John Cena was placed in a battle royal with six other superstars to determine who would face The Miz for his WWE Championship at the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view. Cena would lose the battle royal, and as a result of the anonymous general manager's stipulation, he was placed in the Elimination Chamber match that would determine the number one contender to the WWE Championship.[148] At Elimination Chamber, The Miz retained his title against Jerry "The King" Lawler, and Cena won the Elimination Chamber match, thus earning a WWE Championship match at WrestleMania XXVII. On the February 21 edition of Raw, Cena rapped on The Rock, the guest host of WrestleMania, in response to some comments against him the week before. The Rock had mocked Cena's colorful shirts by calling him a "big fat bowl of Fruity Pebbles" and his "You Can't See Me" gimmick by referring to it as him playing peek-a-boo. Later that night, by order of the Raw general manager, Cena was placed into a WWE Tag Team Championship match against newly crowned champions Heath Slater and Justin Gabriel, with his partner being The Miz. The duo successfully defeated the two members of The Corre, becoming the new Tag Team Champions. They were immediately challenged to a rematch during which The Miz betrayed Cena, resulting in The Corre winning back the Tag Team Championship. On the February 28 edition of Raw, The Rock mocked Cena's rap and continued insulting him, including calling him a "Yabba Dabba bitch", referring to the Fruity Pebbles remark made two weeks before.[149] Cena and The Rock finally met face-to-face on the March 28 edition of Raw, which ended with Cena hitting The Rock with the Attitude Adjustment.[150] On April 3 at WrestleMania XXVII, The Rock cost Cena his match for the WWE Championship against The Miz. The next night on Raw, Cena called out The Rock leading to The Rock challenging Cena to a match at Wrestlemania XXVIII which Cena accepted making it the first time ever that the WrestleMania Main Event had been set a year in advance. The next week, Cena participated in a 5 man gauntlet match to determine the No.1 contender to face The Miz at Extreme Rules. Cena was the last to come out against R-Truth. The Miz then interfered in the match, resulting in a disqualification; however, it was then announced that they would both face the latter in a triple threat Steel Cage match at Extreme Rules. However, the following week, John Morrison defeated R-Truth to take his place in the match per the pre match stipulation. On the 2011 WWE Draft, Cena was drafted back to SmackDown in the overall first pick, only to end up drafted back to Raw with the final draft pick of the night. At Extreme Rules, John Cena defeated John Morrison and The Miz in a Triple threat Cage Match to become the WWE Champion once again. He defended the WWE Championship against The Miz at Over The Limit in an I Quit match and defeated R-Truth at Capitol Punishment. The next night on RAW, John Cena was take place to team up with Randy Orton and Alex Riley against R-Truth, The Miz and Christian, which Cena's team won and the last survivor. Cena was scheduled to face CM Punk for the WWE Championship at Money in the Bank (2011) but on the June 27th edition of Raw, Punk cut a promo insulting Cena, The WWE, The McMahon Family and other WWE Staff Members which got him Suspended (kayfabe) from WWE Televison.

Guest appearances

Before his WWE debut, Cena made an appearance on the Internet stream show Go Sick as Bruebaker, an angry, cursing wrestler in 2001.[158]
During his WWE career, Cena has appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! three times. Cena has also appeared on morning radio shows; including the CBS and XM versions of Opie and Anthony as part of their "walkover" on October 10, 2006. Other appearances have included Late Night with Conan O'Brien, Fuse's Celebrity Playlist, Fox Sports Net's The Best Damn Sports Show Period, MADtv, G4's Training Camp (with Shelton Benjamin), and two appearances on MTV's Punk'd (August 2006 and May 2007), as the victim of a practical joke. He also served as a co-presenter, with Hulk Hogan, at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards, as a guest judge during the third week of the 2006 season of Nashville Star, and appeared at the 2007 Nickelodeon UK Kids Choice Awards.[159]
In January 2007, Cena, Batista, and Ashley Massaro appeared representing WWE on an episode of Extreme Makeover: Home Edition,[160] giving the children of the family whose house was being renovated WWE merchandise and eight tickets to WrestleMania 23.[161] Two months later, he and Bobby Lashley appeared on the NBC game show Deal or No Deal as "moral support" to long time WWE fan and front row staple, Rick "Sign Guy" Achberger. Edge and Randy Orton also appeared, but as antagonists.[162] On April 9, 2008, Cena, along with fellow wrestlers Triple H and Chris Jericho, appeared on the Idol Gives Back fund-raising special.[163] In March 2009, Cena made an appearance on Saturday Night Live during the show's cold opening sequence.[164] On March 7, 2009, he was a guest on NPR's quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me! in a Not My Job sequence titled "Sure, pro wrestling is a good gig, but when you win, do they throw teddy bears into the ring?"[165]

Television

In 2001, between his training in Ultimate Pro Wrestling and Ohio Valley Wrestling,[19] Cena was involved in the UPN produced reality show Manhunt. Cena portrayed Big Tim Kingman, leader of the group of bounty hunters who chased down the contestants who acted as fugitives. The show, however, was mired in controversy when it was alleged that the portions of the show were rigged to eliminate certain players, scenes were re-shot or staged to enhance drama and contestants read from scripts.[166][167][168]
Cena was also featured on the ABC reality series Fast Cars and Superstars: The Gillette Young Guns Celebrity Race, which aired in June 2007,[169] making it to the final round before being eliminated on June 24, placing third in the competition overall.[170]
In 2007 Cena was also interviewed for the CNN Special Investigations Unit documentary, "Death Grip: Inside Pro Wrestling", which focused on steroid and drug use in professional wrestling. When asked if he had taken steroids he was heard to reply, "I can't tell you that I haven't, but you'll never prove that I have."[171] The day after the documentary aired WWE accused CNN of taking Cena's comments out of context to present a biased point of view, backing up their claim by posting an unedited video of his answering the same question—filmed by WWE cameras from another angle—in which he is heard beginning the same statement with "Absolutely not".[172] A text interview on the website with Cena later had him saying the news outlet should apologize for misrepresenting him,[173] which CNN refused in a statement, saying they felt the true answer to the question began with the phrase "My answer to that question".[174] They did, however, edit the documentary on subsequent airings to include the "Absolutely not".[174]
Cena hosted the Australian Nickelodeon Kids Choice Awards with Natalie Bassingthwaighte on October 11, 2008 in Melbourne, Australia.[175]
He guest starred as Ewan O'Hara in an episode of the fourth season of the comedy drama Psych, as the brother of Juliet O'Hara, played by Maggie Lawson.[176]
He also guest starred in the seventh episode of Disney Channel's Hannah Montana Forever as himself.

Make-A-Wish Foundation

John Cena has granted over 200 wishes for the Make-A-Wish Foundation[177] and in 2009 was a recipient of the Chris Greicius Celebrity Award.[178]

Endorsements

Before his professional wrestling career, Cena appeared in an advertisement for Gold's Gym.[179] As a wrestler he has endorsed the energy drink YJ Stinger,[180] appearing in commercials beginning in October 2003, and Subway,[181] for whom he filmed advertisements with their spokesperson Jared Fogle in November 2006 that began airing the next January. For a time in 2007 he also endorsed two "signature collections" of energy drinks and energy bars sold by American Body Builders.[182] In 2008, Cena filmed a commercial as part of Gillette's "Young Guns" NASCAR campaign.[183]
In 2009, Cena expanded his relationship with Gillette by introducing a new online campaign called "Be A Superstar" featuring himself alongside WWE Superstars Chris Jericho and Cody Rhodes. The campaign features motivational videos.[184]

Fashion

For the extent of his WWE career, Cena's attire has attempted to reflect the most current thug fashions and stylings within the hip hop culture that his character represents. Cena started out wearing "throwback jerseys" until WWE produced specific Cena merchandise which he began wearing.[185] While Cena was a member of the SmackDown! brand, one of his WWE produced t-shirts bore the suggestive spoonerism "Ruck Fules". Whenever it appeared on television the image was censored, not by the network, but by WWE to sell more shirts under the premise that it was "too hot for TV."[186] He also wore a chain with a large padlock, occasionally using it as a weapon,[187] until WrestleMania 21, when it was replaced with a chromed and diamond studded "Chain Gang" spinner medallion—reminiscent of the ones worn by members of G-Unit—matching his spinner title belt.
Around the time The Marine was released, Cena began wearing attire more military related, including camouflage shorts, dog tags, a Marine soldier cap and a WWE produced shirt with the legend "Chain Gang Assault Battalion."[188] Shortly after WrestleMania 23, when promotion for The Marine ended, the military attire diminished and was replaced with apparel bearing his new slogan "American Made Muscle" along with denim shorts, not seen since he was a member of the SmackDown roster.[189] He then wore shirts that promoted Cenation and his trademark line "You Can't See Me."
