John Cenas walkout theme is one of the most recognizable in WWE history, but according to the 16-time world champ, it never wouldve existed if he didnt take control of the situation himself.
Speaking during his panel at FAN EXPO Denver 2025, Cena told fans that when he first started rapping on TV as the Doctor of Thuganomics, WWE handed him a generic track to match the gimmick. The problem? It was garbage.
Rather than just complain, Cena actually did something about itby calling in some family favors.
Once the track hit, fans got hookedand Cena wasnt done yet.
What started as a gimmick fix turned into one of wrestlings most iconic theme songsand it all began with a bad beat and a few days off.
