John Cena is one of the greatest pro wrestlers who has ever competed in a WWE ring. But before he became a household name, Cena worked several jobs that the majority of the fans don't know about.

Every fan knows what John Cena has done inside the squared circle. But the WWE Universe might be surprised to know that Cena initially had a different profession. A long time before Cena tried his hand at pro wrestling, he was a bodybuilder. He actively participated in various bodybuilding competitions.

He competed at the 1999 NPC Ironman Magazine Naturally contest in Los Angeles. Cena showed a lot of promise as a young bodybuilder in his early 20s, and he even came in second place at this competition.

The future WWE Champion also made money by working as a full-time limo driver. But he later admitted that he had to quit that job because he wasn't very good at it.

Cena is currently focusing more on his Hollywood projects, and he has become a part-time WWE Superstar.
