World’s Richest Wrestling Star Boasts Net Worth Ten Times Greater Than John Cena’s

World’s Richest Wrestling Star Outshines John Cena with Net Worth Ten Times Greater

John Cena, widely celebrated as one of the greatest performers in sports entertainment, is closing the chapter on his legendary WWE career this weekend. His final match at the Saturday Night’s Main Event will see him face former World Heavyweight Champion Gunther, concluding a 23-year journey in the ring.

Despite Cena’s monumental success, his net worth of approximately £60 million pales in comparison to the world’s richest wrestling star, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Johnson’s financial empire is valued at an astounding £600 million, making him ten times wealthier than Cena.

Johnson transitioned from a successful but shorter WWE career to become a Hollywood blockbuster phenomenon. He recently starred in the acclaimed film The Smashing Machine, which further boosted his global acclaim and earnings. Meanwhile, Cena has also enjoyed box office success, starring in several movies, but has not reached Johnson’s financial heights.

Cena’s farewell tour has been a star-studded affair marked by memorable moments. Highlights include a surprising heel turn influenced by The Rock and Cena’s record 17th world championship reign after defeating Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania. He also revisited rivalries with iconic wrestlers like Randy Orton, CM Punk, and Brock Lesnar in his final appearances.

In his last matches, Cena reclaimed the Intercontinental Championship, a title that had eluded him for most of his career, by defeating Dominik Mysterio. This win, however, was short-lived as Mysterio regained the belt shortly after at Survivor Series.

Saturday Night’s Main Event will feature top WWE talent from the main roster and NXT developmental brand. Notable bouts include Bayley versus NXT star Sol Ruca, and a Champion vs Champion showdown between Undisputed WWE Champion Cody Rhodes and NXT Champion Oba Femi. Cena’s bout with Gunther will close the show, underscoring the passing of the torch to the next generation.

Cena has confirmed he will not return to wrestling, emphasizing the finality of his retirement. The event streams live and free on WWE’s YouTube channel at 1am UK time on Sunday, December 14, offering fans a chance to witness the end of an era in professional wrestling.
