The Rich Eisen Show

"Never seen 17" WWE World Champion John Cena joins O'Shea and TJ for an epic all-encompassing interview. The recently retired, future WWE Hall of Famer joined the guys in-studio to discuss his love of wrestling and the business, his legendary 20+ year wrestling career, and what he wanted to accomplish in his final year competing in the WWE. The conversation detailed Cena's humble wrestling beginnings which included him sleeping in his car in Venice Beach, a woefully short-lived career as an airport chauffeur in early life, and how a moment in the back of a bus became a turning point in his wrestling career. John reveals never before told stories about The Bloodline (including the original planned ending of his 2021 SummerSlam fight against Roman Reigns), how he and AJ Styles conceptualized their love letter to wrestling at Crown Jewel 2025 in Australia, and why he chose to end his career the way he did.
