WWE Celebrating John Cena’s 20 Year Anniversary All Throughout June

On the 20-year anniversary of John Cena‘s WWE arrival, the company has decided to celebrate him all month long.

Although we haven’t seen the former 16-time WWE Champion since SummerSlam last year, Cena has teased in recent weeks that he wants to return to the company soon. Cena made his WWE on-screen debut on the June 27, 2002 episode of SmackDown as the opponent of Kurt Angle. Cena’s appearance was highlighted by his “Ruthless Aggression” promo.

The following is a press release from WWE regarding the announcement of #CenaMonth:

WWE was forever changed on June 27, 2002, when a then-unknown powerhouse by the name of John Cena stormed onto SmackDown for the very first time.

Answering an open challenge issued by Kurt Angle, Cena boldly declared himself an agent of “ruthless aggression” before paint-brushing The Olympic Gold Medalist across the face. The rest, as they say, is history.

Sixteen World Title reigns, countless Attitude Adjustments and numerous Hollywood blockbusters later, Cena’s debut remains a watershed moment in sports-entertainment lore, the introduction of arguably the biggest Superstar of the modern era, if not WWE history.

In honor of the upcoming 20-year anniversary of that seminal night, WWE is paying tribute to The Cenation Leader throughout June with the launch of #CenaMonth.

Starting today, keep your eyes locked on WWE social platforms to celebrate all things John Cena. The festivities include a brand-new episode of WWE Playback featuring The Cenation Leader breaking down his own debut, Cena-themed editions of WWE Top 10 and WWE Playlist, a bevy of rare and unseen photos, tons of classic throwback videos, and much more!

Join the celebration by sharing your favorite Cena moments and memories all month long using the hashtag #CenaMonth.
