00:00I'm John Cena and this is The Wired Autocomplete Interview.

00:06What the f**k? Is that for real?

00:09Uh, okay.

00:15Okay, how did John Cena qualify for the Elimination Chamber?

00:19By leaning on my resume for the one and only time I have in my entire life

00:23and letting everyone know, like, heck, this is my last one.

00:27I think it's a better event with me in it.

00:29In typical WWE fashion, don't try that at home

00:32because you really only have one of those bridges to burn

00:35and this is my last Wrestlemania, so I burned it.

00:39Here's a spoiler alert. It worked.

00:42How did John Cena win at Wrestlemania 41?

00:47By being f**king awesome.

00:50That was my secret sauce, just a dose of awesomeness.

00:54I'm sure The Miz is going to punt me in the nuggets for that one.

00:56Can John Cena grow facial hair?

01:00Not a chance.

01:01I haven't shaved in five weeks.

01:03I've tried.

01:04It shows up in patches.

01:06Guys, you know I can barely grow hair here,

01:08so facial hair is equally challenging.

01:10I did rock a mustache for, like, a hot minute

01:12because I tried to grow my hair and it was like,

01:14this part doesn't grow,

01:16this part doesn't grow,

01:18this part doesn't grow,

01:19so it looks really bad.

01:22Will John Cena be at SummerSlam 2025?

01:27Guys, I'm retiring this year.

01:28I'm going to try to get as many appearances as I can.

01:31All right, first board's done.

01:32Let's get on with the quiz.

01:34Here we go.

01:35Why John Cena is the greatest of all time?

01:40Because I say so.

01:41And as you know,

01:43I also say that winners write the history books,

01:44and currently I'm winning,

01:45so I'm writing history,

01:47and I'm the greatest of all time.

01:48Because I said so.

01:49That's a great answer for you parents out there.

01:52Ha ha ha.

01:53It's not.

01:54Why is John Cena style so iconic?

01:59Because what the f***?

02:02Is that for real?

02:02Well, uh, okay.

02:05So, uh, thanks?

02:10Probably because I was stubborn enough not to change.

02:14So, uh, I wear very small jeans.

02:17They don't go below my kneecap.

02:20Jeans shorts or jorts.

02:21And I just haven't changed that uniform in 20 years.

02:26I used to shower in it.

02:27And now we're here,

02:28where the jorts are about to make their farewell.

02:31Well, and this is me.

02:33This is who I am.

02:34This is how I'm comfortable.

02:35Although I can't move in this coat,

02:37um, I would tear the seams.

02:38But it's, it's comfortable.

02:40It's not.

02:41Help.

02:42Give me some fashion tips.

02:44I'm kidding.

02:44I won't listen.

02:45I'll just show up in a suit or jorts

02:46and a t-shirt until December.

02:48Okay, why is John Cena in Ambani Wedding?

02:54Because I was invited.

02:55Ha ha!

02:55What a cool event to go to.

02:57Man, they really rolled out the red carpet.

02:59And through a huge wedding, I was invited.

03:01And I wanted to go.

03:02I wanted to see what it was all about.

03:03I got to travel the world

03:05and experience incredible culture.

03:08Uh, it was, it was an event I'll always remember.

03:11Uh, so that's why I was there.

03:12Because I got invited.

03:14Okay, here we go.

03:14Let's check it out.

03:15Uh, what did John Cena do to turn heel?

03:21That's a good question

03:22because I believe I said on television

03:24that I'm not a baby face nor heel.

03:27I'm a human being.

03:28So if you have an answer to this question,

03:30it's more personal than practical.

03:32What is John Cena WrestleMania?

03:37What is John Cena WrestleMania record?

03:40This should probably be possessive.

03:41What is John Cena's WrestleMania record?

03:43Uh, I'd like to think I've finished second place

03:46a few times, but I don't know how many.

03:49Hopefully I've finished first

03:50more than I've finished second.

03:52What I do know is

03:52there are no more WrestleMania matches for this guy.

03:56My last one was a few weeks ago.

03:58Alrighty.

03:59What is John Cena's favorite animal?

04:03Hell, I don't know.

04:04I would just literally be making something up.

04:06I, I don't want to play favorites in the animal kingdom

04:08and I try to, to not do that.

04:10So I do not have a favorite animal.

04:12What makes John Cena

04:14a hero?

04:17Well, they say perspective is everything.

04:19And if you think someone dressed like a member

04:22of a highly affiliated organized crime family,

04:25um, wearing a pocket watch that doesn't work

04:27is somehow aspirationally something

04:30you want to aspire to,

04:31that's a great perspective of life.

04:33And I appreciate that.

04:34So thank you so much.

04:35All right.

04:36That board's done.

04:38Who is John Cena?

04:42Again, we should probably add an apostrophe to this,

04:44but that's okay.

04:45Who is John Cena best friend in WWE?

04:48Oh, that's when you're the 17 time champion,

04:51that means you've lost it 16 times.

04:53So, uh, that is an environment with no friends.

04:55I have no allegiances and may God have mercy on my soul.

04:59Who is John Cena's biggest rival?

05:03That one's simple.

05:04The audience.

05:05My goodness.

05:05We've been going back and forth for almost 25 years now.

05:09You're tireless.

05:11You have an energy of an everlasting battery.

05:13I've tried to break you.

05:15I can't.

05:16You got me on the ropes.

05:17This is my last nerve.

05:18I've said I'm going to retire

05:19and I will go down swinging,

05:21trying to crack your resolve.

05:23But damn it, you guys are tough.

05:25You are my biggest rival.

05:26Who is John Cena best friend in real life?

05:30Well, I do have a close crew,

05:32but I got to put the boss first and foremost.

05:34That is my wife.

05:35I love her and she is my best friend.

05:36Who is John Cena's favorite BTS member?

05:40This one's going to set the world ablaze.

05:42My favorite BTS member is...

05:45Hope you got that one.

05:48Here we go.

05:49Did John Cena actually play the piano in Peacemaker?

05:57Yes.

05:57That is my haphazard version of Home Sweet Home.

06:00I don't remember a note of it,

06:01but I did actually play it.

06:03I'm trying to learn how to play the piano.

06:05I've been trying now for eight years.

06:07I still do not know because I practice in my free time

06:11and I have realized by my level of piano,

06:13I don't have a lot of free time,

06:16but I still have a lot of fun doing it.

06:17Does John Cena like anime?

06:21I do, but again, not a lot of free time.

06:24So the last anime I saw was Fist of the North Star,

06:28which is such a cool movie.

06:31It's about like a post-apocalyptic society of martial arts superheroes.

06:36It's kind of like pro wrestling if there was a post-apocalyptic WWE universe.

06:43Yeah.

06:43Fist of the North Star.

06:44It's an oldie, but a goodie.

06:46Does John Cena run his Instagram?

06:50Yes, I do.

06:52I post one picture every day that has personal meaning to me.

06:57It will never be accompanied with text.

07:00You will never see my face.

07:02I will never do more than one image a day.

07:05Now, sometimes the clock is off because my day is in, let's say, Budapest or Morocco.

07:11And you're thinking like, oh, he posted twice today.

07:14If you're really hawking my account that much,

07:15go do something with yourself rather than hawk my account.

07:18But it is the way I run my Instagram.

07:22I'm very, very proud of it.

07:24I run Instagram and X.

07:27Facebook's a little bit of a group effort.

07:30Threads is me.

07:31But yeah, I try to use them all for different things.

07:35I'm very proud of the mystery that is associated with the Instagram account.

07:39Best believe it's all me.

07:41And there's a message in every photo.

07:45All right, that board's done.

07:46Thank you for wasting time with me together.

07:48I can't wait until the next Wired Autocomplete interview so we can do this again.
