John Cena (@johncena) is an actor and professional wrestler known for being a 16-time World Champion in WWE. This interview originally aired on March 5, 2024. He sits down with Chris Van Vliet in Hollywood, CA to talk about his new comedy "Ricky Stanicky" that he stars in with Zac Efron and Andrew Santino on Amazon Prime, what he thought of Zac Efron's wrestling skills in "The Iron Claw", what he said to MJF when they met at the premiere for The Iron Claw, his approach to making movies now compared to when he made "The Marine" 20 years ago, his recent WWE return, fans singing his theme song instead of singing "John Cena sucks", his detailed plans to turn heel for his match against The Rock in 2012, his favorite Championship win, how much longer he thinks he can wrestle for, why the phrase "control the controllable" is so powerful for him, what his match with Bray Wyatt would have looked like at WrestleMania 36 if there had been a crowd, how he recovered from his torn pec so quickly in 2008, his favorite lyric from "Basic Thugonomics", three things he is grateful for and much more!
