John Cena is now a major attraction in Hollywood. But did he waste some precious time of his career by being a WWE superstar?

However, Cena was unimpressed with his mannerism during the moments, and he was happy that everything went well. Recently, WWE is dedicating the month of June to Cena, celebrating his 20th anniversary, while he will be appearing on Monday Night RAW on June 27, nearly after a year. However, it has been almost four years since he has become a part-timer in WWE and has pursued a highly successful career in Hollywood, replicating his once rival, The Rock, aka Dwayne Johnson. But was Cena always destined for success in Hollywood, and did he waste his time being a WWE superstar?
