The former WWE champion has main evented multiple big premium events in the company’s history and can still headline many events in the future. His pathway to glory, like many other superstars, began with the US title.

The US title has been a stepping stone for superstars who have gone on to claim a WWE world title. Cena claimed his first major title (the United States Championship) at WrestleMania 20 after he beat The Big Show. After that, his WWE career skyrocketed.

Surprisingly, Cena took some time out for Theory and replied to this message. Cena said, “Everyone understands that you have far more talent, strength, and gifts than I ever had. Don’t apologize for that. Ever. An apology should come 20 years from now if you fail to provide the EFFORT needed to turn your potential into your legacy. I hope that day never comes. 🥃”
