Before his professional wrestling career, John Cena was a ], ] star, a team captain and ] ] for ] at ]. While at Springfield, he earned a degree in ].{{ref|bio1}}

==World Wrestling Entertainment==
Cena's first televised WWE match was against ] on ], ]. Angle was giving "free shots" at himself to newcomers. Inspired by ]'s recent, somewhat inscrutable, speech to WWE's rising stars, exhorting them to show "ruthless aggression" to earn a place among the legends, Cena took advantage of this opportunity. He almost beat Kurt Angle, kicking out of the ] and surviving the ] submission hold, but ultimately losing to a hard amateur-style pin.

Cena was a typical ], an underdog in each match, which at first did not get much ] from the fans. After losing with then baby face, ] in a tournament match for the new ]s, Cena turned ] and blamed Kidman for the loss. Shortly after his heel turn, on a Halloween episode of ''SmackDown!'', he performed a ] in a ] costume to ], and his ] was changed to that of a white ]. At first, this gimmick got Cena a lot of heel ] from the fans, but he was later cheered by them due to the freestyle raps he made about other wrestlers. During his run as a heel, Cena ] with the ] and ] and also got some help from the ]. One of Cena's first trademark symbols was a modified, classic WWF logo (without the "F") with the slogan "Word Life."

Cena also feuded with ]. During that feud, he derived his signature finishing maneuver, the ] as a counterpart to Lesnar's similar ] move. Later, when Lesnar turned heel, they briefly joined forces. However, due to his growing popularity, Cena eventually turned face, betraying Lesnar and feuding with him again. Cena established his signature "You can't see me" ] and hand gesture during this time as well. In a 2003 '']'' match, he was on a team led by Kurt Angle with Benoit, ] (JBL) and ] against Lesnar, ], ], ] and ]. In the end Cena hit the F-U on The Big Show and got the final pin, leaving him and Benoit as the sole survivors. The two superstars ended their feud there, though they would later fight each other during Cena's run for the ].

===United States champion===

In 2004, Cena's popularity started to increase. He feuded with The Big Show, leading to a '']'' victory to win the WWE United States Championship, his first WWE title. Eventually he was stripped of the title by then-''SmackDown!'' General Manager Kurt Angle. Cena later won the title back after winning a best-of-5 match series with ]. His second title reign was short-lived; he lost the title to the debuting ] in Cena's first televised match since regaining the title.

As part of an ], Cena was attacked in a ] ] by Carlito's ], ], which kept Cena from wrestling for about a month due to a ] puncture. In actuality, this event was ] and Cena was busy filming "'']''". He returned to wrestling just in time for the ''2004 Survivor Series''. Upon his return, Cena exacted revenge on Carlito in a ''SmackDown!'' match and won the U.S. title back. Afterward, however, Cena was attacked in the ring by Jesus, who hit him in the kidney several times with his own chain.
Cena's United States title reigns were notable for two reasons. His second title reign came after a best-of-5 series of matches - a series of matches similar to the one wrestled by Booker T and Chris Benoit for the ] in ] (WCW). In addition, Cena wore a modified United States title belt during his third reign as champion. The new belt featured the same colors, but with the face plate fashioned as a ].

===WWE Champion===
At the ], Cena and ] both went over the top rope at the same time to end the match, but Vince McMahon demanded the match go into sudden death. Cena had Batista in a FU but Batista reversed it to win the match. Shortly after, Cena competed in a tournament to become the #1 contender for the WWE Championship, and won the tournament by defeating ] at '']''. In the weeks leading up to '']'', where Cena was to face JBL, Cena lost his United States Championship to JBL's Chief of Staff, ], with he and JBL blowing up the spinner style belt the following week. During this feud with JBL, Cena established a name for his fans: the "Chain Gang Soldiers" (often shorted to "Chain Gang").

On ], ] at ''WrestleMania 21'' in ], Cena defeated JBL to win his first WWE Championship. Cena then had a custom WWE Championship belt made, just as ] did with his "Smoking Skull" belt. The WWE Championship belt is similar to his custom U.S. title belt, featuring a Spinner type WWE logo plate. In the meanwhile, JBL stole the original WWE belt and claimed he was still WWE Champion.

At '']'', Cena successfully defended his title against JBL in a bloody ]. JBL, cornered against a glass pane, quit to avoid getting hit by a ]'s exhaust pipe. He got hit anyway, sending him through the glass pane behind him. Cena was able to reclaim the real WWE Championship belt, though he still carried around his Spinner belt.

=====Drafted to ''RAW''=====
]
On the ], ] episode of ''RAW'', John Cena became the first draft in the annual ], with Eric Bischoff drafting him from ''SmackDown!'' to ''RAW''. Upon entering ''RAW'', Cena immediately entered an angle with ] and ]. The rivalry between Christian and Cena had already been established when Christian attacked Cena on the Jericho's Highlight Reel, while Cena's rivalry with Jericho started when Jericho ] on Cena in a tag team match against Christian and ].

Cena defeated Christian and Chris Jericho in a Triple Threat match at ] by knocking Jericho out of the ring and pinning Christian. On the June 27 edition of ''RAW'', Cena teamed with ] and a returning ] for the first time to beat Jericho, Christian, and Tyson Tomko.

==== Feud with Bischoff ====
Cena quickly made enemies with ''RAW'' general manager ], delivering the F-U to Bischoff on the ],] edition of ''RAW''. Bischoff vowed to make Cena's stint on ''RAW'' difficult and chose Chris Jericho to contend for Cena's title. On ], ] Cena and Jericho competed in the first ever ] on ''RAW''. The battle featured Cena's Chain Gang against Jericho's ]. Cena performed but Jericho refused, claiming the audience was biased against him and said that Fozzy would not perform until the upcoming '']'' ]. After a successful title defense against his rival Carlito, Cena successfully defended his title against Chris Jericho at ''SummerSlam 2005''.

On ], ] in Hampton Virginia, Cena beat Jericho in a "You're Fired" match for the WWE Championship despite the General Manager giving Cena a low-blow and ] to Jericho. After the match, Kurt Angle came into the ring and attacked Cena while Eric Bischoff revealed that Angle was the number one contender for Cena's world title. After several weeks of feuding, both men faced off in the main event of '']'', where Cena lost to Angle by disqualification after hitting Angle with the WWE Title belt, meaning Cena would still be Champion. At '']'', Cena again successfully retained his WWE Championship in a triple threat match against Kurt Angle and Shawn Michaels by pinning Michaels.

On the ], ] edition of ''RAW'', Cena paid tribute to ], who had recently passed away. After a main event match with ] that had Cena delivering the F-U to Orton, Cena took off the Eddie Guerrero "I'm Your Papi!" T-shirt he had worn during the match in Eddie's honor. He laid it down on the mat and placed his championship belt on top of it, honoring Guerrero, who was a former WWE Champion.

At the 2005 ''Survivor Series'', Cena successfully defended the WWE Championship against Kurt Angle.

On the ], ] episode of ''RAW'', Cena made his opinion of Bischoff known during Bischoff's mock trial and helped Vince McMahon fire Bischoff by delivering the F-U to the former RAW general manager, effectively ending the hostilities he had with Bischoff and giving him the last laugh.

=====Losing the WWE Championship=====
On ], ], at ], Cena successfully defended his WWE Championship in an ]Match. However, after the match, Vince McMahon came onto the stage and announced that Cena was going to defend the WWE Championship against ], who was cashing in his previously earned "Money in the Bank" title shot. Edge quickly delivered two spears to Cena, pinning him to win the WWE Championship and to end Cena's reign as WWE Champion at ], matching that of previous champion JBL.

===Second WWE Championship reign===
] at the Royal Rumble 2006]]
At the ], Cena regained the WWE Championship by forcing Edge to tap out to the STF-U. He would successfully defend the title against Edge in a later rematch.

On ] ], ] defeated RVD and ] to win the ] which in turn gave him a title shot at Cena's WWE Championship at '']''. On the ], ] edition of ''RAW'', Triple H and John Cena went face-to-face verbal confrontation in the middle of the ring. Triple H accused Cena several times of lacking in-ring ability, saying "Well, excuse me if I'm not afraid of the guy whose one big move is pumpin' up his Reeboks."

The two men were then informed by Vince McMahon that they would be teaming up as partners in a handicap match prior to ''WrestleMania 22''. Their opponents: ], Randy Orton, and the World Heavyweight Champion, Kurt Angle. This match occurred at the return of '']'' on ], ]. Despite Triple H's attempts to injure Cena, Cena was able to roll up Orton for the pin.

On the ], ] edition of ''RAW,'' Cena and Shawn Michaels were scheduled for a tag-team match against Triple H and Shane McMahon. Cena, however, was "disqualified" from the match by Vince McMahon early for hitting Shane with a closed fist, even though Shane was not the legal tag member in the ring. The then-handicap match of HHH & Shane vs Michaels turned bloody for HBK as he proceeded to take a beating. Cena reapeared in the ring in time to save Michaels and they together proceeded to beat up Triple H and a host of Vince's bodyguards as both of the McMahons ran away up the ramp. On the ] edition of ''RAW,'' Michaels faced Triple H and Cena faced McMahon; both Cena and HBK were left bloodied after McMahon intentionally cost himself the match by DQ.
