#1. Stephanie McMahon saved John Cena's WWE career

John Cena is a 16-time World Champion and one of WWE's most successful stars, but this hasn't always been the case. There was a time when Cena wasn't connecting with the fans and even wearing the colors of the sports team of each respective town wasn't enough for him to win over the audience.

Charlotte Flair to return and wrestle a CURRENT CHAMPION?

Interestingly, it was Stephanie McMahon who was able to kick-start Cena's career. The former world champion explained on Ruthless Aggression that McMahon stepped in when Cena was freestyling with Rikishi and Rey Mysterio, whilst traveling from city to city.

The former Women's Champion was on the bus with the three stars and asked Cena to do a rap for her on the spot.

"In two seconds I made a small rap about the tuna fish, the jetway, the plane we were about to go on, the destination. And then kinda closed it with a comment about Stephanie. She was like, 'Would you like to do this on television?' I said, 'Absolutely." Said Cena.

Cena then became the Dr. of Thugamomics, and McMahon was even one of the people Cena rapped about on an episode of WWE SmackDown.
