John Cena has been away from the WWE ring for quite some time now. However, he is still one of the most well-known superstars the company has ever produced.

The 16-time WWE world champion has made a name for himself outside the wrestling industry. He is currently one of the most sought-after actors in Hollywood. Cena has received a lot of praise for his acting, and has even won the CinemaCon 'Action Star of the Year' Award in 2017.

CinemaCon’s Managing Director Mitch Neuhauser had a lot to say about the special honor bestowed upon The Doctor of Thugonomics:

“Already a global superstar, entertainer and athlete John Cena has put audiences around the globe on notice with his standout performances in films such as the hit comedy ‘Trainwreck’ and ‘Sisters’. With his undeniable work-ethic, genuine and charismatic personality and his already proven ability to entertain, Cena’s upcoming role in ‘The Wall’, will solidify his place in Hollywood. We are thrilled to be able to honor him with this year's ‘CinemaCon Action Star Of The Year’ award’.”

Cena has also won Sports Illustrated's Muhammad Ali Legacy Award.
