The Doctor of Thuganomics turns 40 today and it wouldn't be right if we didn't honour his greatest achievements in someway. So here's 40 times we couldn't see John Cena.
"WABADOOOOOO" The time is here and the time is now and that time is John Felix Anthony Cena Jr's 40th birthday!
No doubt the man with 16 WWE World titles to his name is going to be spending the day lifting the weightiest weights and snacking on his favourite food, Nikki Bella's nether regions if you didn't know- let's hope he doesn't put the candles in the wrong cake.
