Joining a coterie of his former co-workers like Hulk Hogan, The Rock, Ric Flair, and Dave Bautista, Cena made his presence in the industry felt by starring in blockbusters such as The Suicide Squad, Bumblebee, Fast & Furious 9, and The Marine to name a few, delivering a noteworthy performance in each one of them.

Undoubtedly, he had his own share of stories after joining the industry, one of which includes his high-profile engagement and breakup with a former professional wrestler, Nikki Bella. Things didn’t end there as he continues to maintain a notable and positive presence earning goodwill from some of the industry’s most well-known faces.

James Gunn devoted one of his tweets to Cena on the occasion of the latter’s birthday. The filmmaker had a lot of positive things to say, especially as both of them worked together in the past. In his tweet, he lauded the actor’s kind and compassionate personality, with pictures taken at the DC Studios co-CEO’s wedding to Jennifer Holland, and he wasn’t the only one to pay tribute.

By maintaining an established his position in the industry, Cena has retained as position as a fan favorite.
