Many WWE fans are aware of John Cena’s rise from rags to riches. However, in a recent interview with Club Shay Shayhe revealed that he was voluntarily homeless. He noted that he decided to build himself and prove to everyone.
“I was homeless by choice. A lot of people struggle with the inability to choose. My dad is wonderful and has always been great to all his sons. And he always said, ‘Hey, you always have a roof over your head. can always come home.’ But he also told me when I left the mean street of West Newbury for California, you’ll never make it in two weeks. Oh, so I don’t know if he’s a genius or just an a**hole,” Cena said.
John Cena added that his father’s taunts worked well, and that he enjoyed every moment of it.
“But it worked. I didn’t want to come home. So when all my plans failed and all my resources dwindled, I once again had a choice. Do I stay? And if I stay, this will be the best choice.” A roof over my head for a while, but I loved it.” [H/T Essentially Sports]
Many big matches await John Cena in 2025. Many fans want to see him face former rivals like Roman Reigns, Randy Orton and The Miz.

I don’t know how long he’ll be around and all that, or whatever.” that’s his schedule, but if he wants to come back and have the best possible fit with the most elite talent he can work with, that’s me. There is no one else. So if that’s what he wants, come in there and mix it with the best of the best from the next generation, that’s going to be… the next five, ten years […] I’m going to stand up and be leaders for this locker room, that’s who I am,” the WWE star said.
