#2: John Cena as Baron Draxum - Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

John Cena has long been divisive among WWE fans due to his decade-plus run on top of the sports entertainment juggernaut. Cena began his career as a nondescript babyface with little personality before turning into a rapper stylized after Vanilla Ice. It would be this character combined with his edgy Ruthless Aggression era promo style that would propel Cena to the very top of the WWE card in 2005. A position he would remain in until the end of his full-time run in the company.

As the character evolved to become more PG friendly, fans would grow to resent Cena for his juvenile humor, child-friendly image and Superman persona. It is ironic that these same traits that turned WWE fans on the one time "Doctor of Thuganomics" would be instrumental to endearing the 16-time former world champion in the hearts of mainstream audiences. Cena has scored critical and box office success for his appearances in movies such as C*** Blockers & in the Amy Schumer driven comedy, Trainwreck.

In one of his more recent roles, the WWE legend has returned to his kid-friendly roots by voicing Baron Draxum in the latest relaunch of classic 80s TV Show, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. The show was called Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles and aired between 2018 and 2019. Cena’s character was the central villain in season 1 and played a regularly recurring role in season 2.

Bonus fun fact: Cena also voices Robo in YouTube premium series Dallas & Robo.
