Randeep Hooda: A homage to the actor has been given by Randeep Hooda, who is collaborating with John Cena on his next global project, Matchbox. As he leaves WWE, he sent a touching letter honoring his incredible experience.

Randeep posted a collage of John Cena on his Instagram Stories section on Monday. He spoke about getting to know the guy behind the legendary character and thought back on his time working closely with the icon.

He emphasized John Cena’s self-control, groundedness, and generosity, pointing out that his path from the WWE ring to the film industry has been propelled by unrelenting dedication to excellence, humility, and tireless hard work.

“Working with John Cena showed me the man behind the icon, disciplined, grounded, and generous at heart,” he remarked on the photo. Through his unwavering diligence and humility, he has inspired millions of people both on the big screen and in the WWE ring. His fan following, which spans both genders and life stages and numbers from 8 to 80, is a testament to the type of influence he has had. His departure from WWE is a celebration of an amazing legacy rather than an end. Cheers to a real legend.

Randeep also emphasized the connection John Cena has with his audience, pointing out that his following is diverse in terms of age, gender, and culture, ranging from young people to senior citizens from all walks of life. The actor claims that this widespread appreciation demonstrates the breadth of Cena’s impact as a performer and a person.

One of the most significant periods in professional wrestling comes to a close with John Cena’s retirement. With his unrivaled work ethic, widespread popularity, and catchphrase of “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect,” the 16-time world champion became the face of WWE in the 2000s and 2010s.

His in-ring appearances steadily decreased as he moved to Hollywood, but his charisma never diminished. Cena’s departure is about reinventing what a contemporary WWE superstar might be—part athlete, part role model, and international entertainer—rather than merely championships or contests. In wrestling history, his influence is still deeply ingrained.
