9 Fun Facts You May Not Know About Ready To Rumble

3. John Cena’s On-Screen Debut

The Hurricane would go on to make an appearance in the WWE’s Royal Rumble match in 2018, but it’s the person who eliminated him from that match that’s actually featured in the movie. How’s that for a motherflipping segue.

Hey so you know how John Cena is like, one of the biggest stars ever to be a part of WWE? Like, ever? And how he’s now a movie star who does stuff like big blockbusters, like Bumblebee, and not-so-big blockbusters, like The Marine? Isn’t it nuts that he made his on-screen movie debut on a WCW funded movie?

In the background of one particular shot with Goldberg and not-Jerry Lawler, you can see one John Cena lift some weights in the gym. Look at that hair.

He’s uncredited for his role, but that doesn’t stop him stealing the show with all that star presence he has while he…lifts those weights. Pumps that iron. Is that what people say? I don’t know, I don’t work out.
