John Cena has been called the greatest WWE star of all time by such wrestling industry veterans as John Layfield, Paul Heyman, and Kurt Angle. His feats and appearances in the ring are widely watched and loved. He has even gone beyond the world of professional wrestling to wear different hats as an actor, television host, and rapper. The enigmatic wrestler, therefore, has a lot of wrestling fans and other individuals that are interested in his life.
Early Life and Career
He started a professional wrestling career in 1999 with Ultimate Pro Wrestling (UPW). He soon won the UPW Heavyweight Championship in the year 2000 and it was after that he made the move to the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) which would be the place he would achieve his starlike appeal. The WWF was later renamed to the World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and in 2002 they debuted John Cena to their main roster. In a very unexpected turn which moved him from generic character to famed wrestler, he became a rapper in the period of 2002–2004. He then transitioned to the character of a “goody-two-shoes Superman.”

She also said that hopefully, they would get back together someday but even if that failed to happen, they only want each other to be happy.
