John Cena celebrates his 20th anniversary at WWE

On June 27, 2002, WWE was forever changed when a then-unknown powerhouse named John Cena stormed onto SmackDown for the first time to take on Kurt Angle.

Now, 20 years following his arrival on SmackDown, WWE has designated the month of June to celebrate the anniversary of his debut, culminating in an appearance on RAW on June 27.

Since his initial debut, John Cena has become a global household name widely regarded as one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. Over his illustrious career, he has acquired a multitude of achievements, including 16 World Title reigns, countless Attitude Adjustments, numerous Hollywood blockbusters, a New York Times best-selling book, a hit album, and a record-setting number of Make-A-Wish grants.

Preaching the ethos of Hustle, Loyalty, Respect’, Cena has doled out his signature ‘Attitude Adjustments’ to WWE Hall of Famers like The Rock, Randy Orton, Batista, Brock Lesnar, and Triple H, as well as some of WWE’s new guard in Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, and Kevin Owens.

While his return opponent is yet-to-be-announced, the WWE Universe is in for an action-packed edition of the red brand as Cena steps into the ring for a landmark match on June 27.

As part of #CenaMonth, WWE is also celebrating all things John Cena with tribute content across its social media platforms, including a brand-new episode of WWE Playback featuring The Cenation Leader breaking down his debut, Cena-themed editions of WWE Top 10 and WWE Playlist, a bevvy of rare and unseen photos, tons of classic throwback videos, and much more!
