John Cena wrestled in WWE under his rapper gimmick(The Doctor of Thuganomics) from 2002 to 2005. Cena was a heel back then and often rapped derogatory statements about his adversaries in the ring.
John Cena dropped his rapper gimmick in 2005 and transitioned into a ‘hustle, royalty, and respect’ character. Even though John Cena has dropped the Doctor of Thuganomics gimmick, the 16-Time Champion has made rare appearances like one on Wrestlemania 35. John Cena made an appearance on the showcase of the immortals with the rapper gimmick in a segment with Elias. Cena mocked and humiliated Elias with his rhymes before delivering an AA to him.
