10 Wrestlers Who Just Don't Care Anymore
5. John Cena
With chances of ever winning his 17th strap and taking sole ownership of the World Title record he currently shares with Ric Flair seemingly in the rearview, John Cena has entered his career's own banter era.
This has been the case for a while now. Free of the stresses of being the face of the company, Cena no longer has to give a f*ck. He doesn't have to try anymore. All his current role needs is for him to show up once in a blue moon, run a couple of signature spots, pop the crowd, and get the hell out of there. Nothing more, nothing less.
The surest sign of Cena's descent to banterdom came when, after weeks of teasing his "sixth move of doom," the 'Face That Runs The Place' unleashed the bloody Lightning Fist at a Shanghai, China house show, then uncorked it again at Super Show-Down in Melbourne last year. He has grown his hair out, produced a series of weird post-relationship #thriving travelogues in China, and revived his 'Doctor Of Thugonomics' gimmick to destroy Elias at WrestleMania 35. Why? Because the man doesn't care anymore.
