John Cena gave almost two decades to the world of pro wrestling. Very few names come close to him when it comes to achieving the same feats as his in WWE. The 16-time World Champion has become a household name in the modern-day wrestling era, even though he rarely makes appearances inside the square circle anymore.
However, the name and fame are a product of pure accident. Cena, in a recent interview, confessed that it was never meant to happen. That it all happened by “mistake.” But thank God! It happened, right?

While speaking with Whiskey Ginger w/ Andrew Santino 231, The Cenation Leader mentioned that he initially wanted to join the Marine Corps and not WWE. But his fate had other plans for him and thus he ended up being one of the top names in the Stamford-based company.
He said, “Originally I started to wrestle by mistake. I was going to join the Marine Corps. And a friend of mine was like, we are training down in Orange County. You should give it a weekend before you go down there. I was like, yeah, whatever I will do it, saw a ring and I was hooked.”

‘The Champ’ mentioned that when he initially joined WWE, he had to face some problems adjusting to the industry. As he was not into wrestling that much in the starting, he struggled to make a bond with the WWE Universe. He confessed his debut day was awful as he “totally sh*t the bed” that day.
He was not able to connect with the fans emotionally, and that made him feel terrible. But ultimately, the WWE Universe saw the rise of ‘The Face That Runs The Place’.
