JHON CENA RULES

WWE scene on the June 27, 2002, episode of UPN's Smackdown! when he challenged Kurt Angle to an impromptu match. After coming within inches of defeating the Olympic Champion, Cena was congratulated by several superstars on Smackdown!, most notably the Undertaker. A lot has changed since then. Very rarely has an athlete entered the ring who can walk the walk and talk the talk immediately. John Cena is one of those athletes. Using an uncanny ability to perform in the ring and at the microphone in his own unique way, Cena spent his rookie year in the WWE challenging the best in the business for in-ring supremacy. A former football star at Springfield College, Cena spent his college career developing two activities that would prove to define him-training and rapping. Now he is doing both in front of millions on a weekly basis and is one of the most popular young Superstars on Smackdown! Cena claims to already be a legend. While that issue may be in doubt, there is no denying that he has the talent to be a legend one day. He has faced some of the very best to ever compete in the WWE and has held his own. And like most legends, Cena used the biggest possible stage to have one of the greatest moments of his career when he defeated the Big Show at WrestleMania XX to earn his first Championship--the United States Championship! And then at WrestleMania 21 John Cena defeated JBL to become the WWE Champion! In 2005 in the June Draft Lottery, WWE Champ, John Cena was the first pickand left WWE Smackdown! and moved over to WWE Raw. And he is the WWE champion on Raw right now.
