Wrestling superstar John Cena is preparing for a villainous turn at WrestleMania 41, but outside the ring, he’s sharing a personal story about a health scare that changed his perspective.
During a recent campaign for Neutrogena sunscreen, Cena revealed he had cancerous spots removed from his right pectoral muscle and shoulder earlier in his career. He admitted to neglecting skin care in his 20s, thinking he was invincible. Now, he’s embracing his role as an advocate for skin health.
This candid revelation contrasts sharply with Cena’s current on-screen persona. After announcing his retirement tour, he entered the Royal Rumble as a fan favorite, but was unexpectedly eliminated.
This fueled a dramatic shift, leading to a heel turn, a victory at the Elimination Chamber, and a shocking alliance with The Rock. Cena cemented his villainous transformation by attacking Cody Rhodes after their match, even using Rhodes’ own title belt against him.
Cena’s in-ring actions are backed up by his words. He’s vowed to win the title at WrestleMania and retire as the “last real champion,” leaving all other wrestlers in his shadow. Fans are praising his recent microphone work, calling it some of his best since 2013.
Rhodes will attempt to stop Cena from achieving his goal of a record 17th championship and prevent him from, as Cena puts it, “ruining wrestling for everyone.” Their highly anticipated match is expected to headline night two of WrestleMania 41 on April 20th.
