7 Fascinating Backstage WWE Facts About John Cena

7. 'You Can't See Me' Album Raced Up Billboard Charts

To date, John Cena has only released one album. That 2005 CD, 'You Can't See Me' was nonetheless a huge success for the man. Recorded alongside his cousin, known as 'Tha Trademarc', the disc sold 143,000 copies during the first week of public sale. For a rap CD recorded by a professional wrestler, that's a big number. Better yet, on the Billboard charts, 'You Can't See Me' managed to reach as high as #15. The CD includes the theme song Cena still marches to the ring with today, 'The Time Is Now'. Today, it's unlikely that WWE's child-friendly structure would be delighted by some of the other tracks, which feature ample strong language. Since the album's release, WWE have moved John Cena away from his bad-boy rap persona. Nowadays, he sits comfortably as a strong role model for young children, rather than a rhyme-spitting thug. 'The Time Is Now' has become such a huge part of Cena's overall act, so it's fascinating to think the song wasn't necessarily written solely for use in wrestling.
