When was John Cena drafted at #1?

John Cena is the only Superstar in WWE history to be the #1 draft pick on more than one occasion.

Female superstar says she inspired John Cena turning heel HERE

In 2005, “Big Match John” was chosen as Eric Bischoff’s first pick to move to RAW in the draft, which meant the WWE Championship moved back to the red brand for the first time since it became exclusive to SmackDown in the 2002 draft.

In 2011, history repeated itself when Cena was chosen as the first pick in the draft for the second time in his career. However, his return to SmackDown did not last for very long, as he was drafted back to RAW at the end of the night.

Where is John Cena in 2019?

Like The Rock, John Cena is everywhere in 2019. His last WWE match came in January when he took part in a Fatal 4-Way match on RAW ahead of the Royal Rumble – an event he was originally advertised for before pulling out on the day of the show.

Since then, the 16-time World Champion has been busy filming movies, but he recently said he will never walk away from WWE and he still plans to make sporadic appearances.
