During a recent interview with Kevin Hart on “Hart to Heart,” John Cena recalled checking out a wrestling ring at a training academy for the first time and how that motivated him more to become a professional wrestler. He said,
“Literally the weekend I’m about to go down [to enlist], a buddy of mine says, ‘Yo, you know, we train to be wrestlers over in Orange County. You ever thought about going down [there]?’ ‘Motherf***er, there’s a WHAT? There’s a school? We can do this? Yes, of course!’ Literally, I was like, ‘Yo, I’ll go with you this weekend, I’ll see what it’s about.’ We went to a place called L.A. Boxing in Orange County. It was a one-story, glass house, sweatshop gym. I remember pulling up and seeing the ring through the window, and [being] like, ‘Yo, I’ll do whatever it takes to get in there as long as I can.’”
John Cena’s last appeared for WWE earlier this month at the Money in the Bank 2023 pay-per-view event in London. Cena worked a segment with Grayson Waller at the event.
