Cena attended the Cushing Academy, graduated and continue to study at the Springfield College in Massachusets where he was in the third division of the football team and used the number 54. After graduating with a degree in exercise physiology, he continued to pursue a career in bodybuilding. He worked as a driver at the time, for extra money but was concentrating on bodybuilding.
Cena made his debut in pro wrestling in 2001, when he signed a contract with the World Wrestling Federation (WWF in short) which asigned him to OVW, the Ohio Valley Wrestling. While wrestling in the Ohio Valley Wrestling development territory he was nicknamed the "Prototype".
Kurt angle made John an open challenge in June 2002 and John accepted it thus making his debut in SmackDown. Same year on Halloween he dressed like a Vanilla Ice Impersonator and rapped. He used his new hip-hop image to insult the crowds before the match started. He made bad raps about their city and wore throwback jerseys of the enemies of the local sports teams.
With his improving wrestling ability, he became the US Champion in April 2003. His career boomed ever since.
Cena started allot of feuds with Shawn Michaels and Bischoff when he beat Kurt Angle and Chris Masters. In an Elimination Chamber Match he beat both of them on New Year's Revolution and also beat Kane and Shawn Michaels.
He won the WWE Championship third time when he beat Edge in a Tables, Ladders and Chairs Match. This happened just before he released "The Marine", an action film in 2006. The movie instantly became a huge hit and was available on DVD. He used his new image to wrestle in camouflage shorts. His third title reign lasted over a year, but was lost because of an arm injury.
He suffered another injury, to his neck, just a few months after recovering from his arm injury. He had surgery and recovered and shortly after, he won the World Heavyweight Champion title when he beat Chris Jericho.
