The New York Times published a feature today ahead of WrestleMania 41 (Night Two), spotlighting John Cena in an article titled “How John Cena Became the Last Great Wrestling Crossover Star.” The piece includes reflections from WWE Hall of Famer Kurt Angle, who praised Cena’s dedication to the industry and likened him to NBA icon Michael Jordan. He said,
“He’s the Michael Jordan of wrestling. He committed himself to wrestling entirely — and he drowned himself in it.”
Cena is set to challenge reigning WWE Undisputed Champion Cody Rhodes tonight in a high-stakes match as he aims to capture a record-setting 17th World Title. The bout is part of Cena’s final run, with the wrestling legend planning to retire following his 2025 Farewell Tour.
