John Cena Reveals How Much Money He Made From His First WWE Contract

While speaking with Kevin Hart on Hart To Heart, John Cena talked about a wide range of topics.

During it, he commented on his signing with WWE in 2000 and how much money he was offered as part of the deal.

“My first contract with WWE was $12,000 a year. I quit my job the day I was signed. I think my rent was $1,000 a month. So all my money is now rent. When I told my mom, she’s like, ‘I hope you’re okay.’ My dad, I could have told him any other position and he would have been like, ‘Yeah, whatever,’ but I told him I got a job with WWE. ‘Oh, my son. This is unreal. It’s going to great. I can’t believe it.’ Still, to this day, he’s extremely proud.”
