John Cena first grabbed fans’ attention by adopting a rapper-inspired persona, quickly climbing the ranks in WWE. However, his rap skills went beyond just a wrestling character. In 2005, he released his debut album, You Can’t See Me, which featured his famous theme song "The Time Is Now" along with 16 other tracks.
Recently, Cena appeared on The Jimmy Kimmel Show, where he reflected on his first appearance on the show two decades ago to promote that album. He enthusiastically agreed when Kimmel credited that look for helping the album achieve triple platinum status. When asked about upcoming projects or celebrating the album’s 20th anniversary, Cena firmly stated that chapter of his life is closed, paralleling his advance toward concluding his wrestling career with WWE on the 13th. Still, Cena confessed he listens to the album yearly and takes great pride in it.
Cena expressed gratitude for his ability to explore music, wrestling, and acting, noting how rare it is for someone to succeed in all three fields.
