John Cena is celebrating his 40th birthday today. The 16-time World Champion was born on April 23, 1977.
To mark the occasion, WWE.com has published a photo gallery of John Cena ‘like you’ve never seen him before.’ Cena received congratulatory messages on social media from several people, including fiancée Nikki Bella and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, who referred to Cena as the “Babe Ruth of WWE.”
Happy birthday to John Cena!
“Hustle Loyalty Respect” is not just an expression, it’s the measure of the man. Happy birthday to the Babe Ruth of WWE, @JohnCena.
