While promoting the movie F9 in 2021, Cena told Taiwanese broadcaster TVBS, Taiwan is the first country that can watch F9. Cena faced immediate backlash in China for referring to Taiwan as a country, a point that has led to longstanding frictions as Beijing recognizes Taiwan, which has its own government, as part of its territory. Cena released an apology video where, in Mandarin, he said he made a mistake.
In John Cena's final performance in his hometown of Boston, he won the Intercontinental Championship -- in many ways the final piece of the puzzle to what many would call the most prolific career in WWE history. On a night with multiple title matches and a pair of title changes, fans got world champions fighting together on the same side, the official start of the 16-wrestler tournament to become Cena's final opponent and a surprise return at the end of the show to set up a Survivor Series: War Games match.
Good morning, wrestling fans! It early in the U.S., but across the globe in Australia, it's prime-time for WWE action. The Crown Jewel event at RAC Center in Perth, Australia, features two Crown Jewel Championship matches, a stop on the John Cena retirement tour, a tag team match full of mixed feeling and something called an Australian Street Fight that we will be learning about alongside you.
With his medicine-ball biceps and chin worthy of an Easter Island moai, the wrestler turned actor John Cena can actually pull off wearing a daft comic book outfit, shiny silver helmet and all. That's what makes Cena's spandex-clad Chris Smith AKA Peacemaker so inherently funny: he looks the part but is a demonstrably terrible superhero. Being a hard-charging, self-sabotaging meathead with a propensity for violence and a hair-trigger temper will never make you as beloved as Superman. But it can be highly entertaining to watch.
