Just like his iconic song, John Cena, time seems to be here. The Champ is having the finest time of his professional career, whether it be in professional wrestling, setting a Guinness World Record, or his Hollywood career. After Dwayne Johnson, no one would argue that he had the most influence on WWE and beyond.
And the similarities between their professional paths are astounding: both were former WWE Superstars who made the transition to acting, both had memorable roles in the Fast and Furious franchise, both are associated with DC, and now, after The Rock, Cena is making headlines for becoming President.

The Champ portrays a presidential contender delivering campaign speeches in a turbulent political climate in the forthcoming Peacock movie ‘The Independent’. Cena’s character intends to become the first politician elected without the backing of a prominent political party as investigators hunt for a scoop that would define their careers concerning the election. Notably, ‘The Independent’ will be available for streaming on November 2.
Popularly, Johnson had earlier portrayed a running for president in the Young Rock, which served as fuel for his campaign and made him the focus of attention. And now, obviously, there has been a significant amount of discussion about Cena after The Peacemaker Actor was sighted in the movie’s first look.
The first scene from the movie shows Cena giving a speech while standing on a platform with the US flag as his backdrop. The audience appears to be applauding him as he delivers his speech. And he received a great reception on Twitter, much like The Champ, who is seen in a poster receiving cheers from the audience.
Fans react to John Cena playing President
His appearance in the political drama with Luke Kirby, Brian Cox, Ann Dowd, and Jodie Turner-Smith excited fans. And here is how the movie’s first look has been received by fans. Reacting to it, fans seem really excited to see the 16 times World Champion as President.

Additionally, one supporter also argued why Cena couldn’t be president if The Rock could.
I mean if 2K can turn the rock into President Rock. Why shouldn’t Cena run for office
