5 Things WWE doesn't want you to know about John Cena

2: Spanked Stephanie McMahon on air

Both Stephanie McMahon and John Cena will want to forget this

It’s fair to say that Cena’s character was a lot for risqué during the Ruthless Aggression Era. The year was 2003 and Stephanie McMahon was both an on-air talent and transitioning into the role of a businesswoman.

Cena was in his ‘Doctor of Thuganomics’ character at the time and was involved in an in-ring segment rap with Stephanie McMahon on an episode of SmackDown. Cena asked Stephanie within the rap if he could spank her and an enraged Stephanie challenged him to do so if he had the guts and bent over and presented her posterior to the future advocate of Hustle, Loyalty, and Respect. Of course, Cena went through with it.

My question about this whole thing – what did Triple H think of this segment?
