Besides wrestling, Rollins also enjoys playing a wide variety of genres including the beloved Call of Duty series he plays against other gamers on X Box Live.

#1 John Cena

One of the WWE’s most recognizable faces – John Cena is another wrestler who’s a hardcore gaming fanatic. Although unlike his peers, Cena prefers to play games the more traditional way on a PC rather than using any of the consoles.

In fact, as a boy Cena painstakingly built his PC part by part, even upgrading it occasionally to ensure that it would support every new release that came out. The 38-year-old still owns his old school machine even today which is somewhat unsurprising as the bond between a dude and his gaming machine is extremely hard to break.
