5 Near disasters that almost changed the entire history of WWE

#4 Vince McMahon firing John Cena before he became a wrestling sensation

Vince nearly fired Cena

John Cena is one of the reasons why WWE was successful in transitioning to a PG company. The fans loved Cena’s gimmick, and this made him the face of the company. However, this didn’t happen as smoothly as you might think.

After a few months of joining WWE, the management considered firing Cena from the company but at the last moment, Stephanie McMahon saved the day. She insisted on keeping the 16-time champion in WWE and she was successful in that. Cena didn’t get fired and the rest is history.

He is now working part-time for WWE and is focusing more on his acting career. If Cena had gotten released during his early WWE days then it would have changed the history of wrestling for sure.
