John Cena's stardom as a WWE Superstar became his path to Hollywood, where he has delivered some incredible performances in major films. However, the wrestling fanbase went berserk after a current AEW champion claimed to be better than the 17-time World Champion when it came to working in front of the camera.

The superstar, who is the reigning TBS Champion, is Mercedes Mone. Around the mid-2010s, John Cena began pursuing top-tier Hollywood projects. Since then, he has starred in blockbuster films like Bumblebee, Fast and Furious, and Head of State. Moreover, he has also been a part of popular television series like DC's Peacemaker.

On the other hand, Mercedes Mone's major acting project has been The Mandalorian series in the Star Wars franchise, where she played a recurring character, Koska Reeves, in the second and third seasons. Following that, she made her film debut in The Collective in 2023.

Despite that, Mone recently claimed in an interview with TV Insider that she should have been in second place on the list of greatest wrestlers turned actors, ahead of John Cena.

This led to fans erupting with majorly negative responses against The CEO. One fan claimed that she is not even close to The Cenation's Leader's acting ability, while another claimed that she has "lost it."

On the other hand, some fans even brought up her role in The Mandalorian, and one even stated that it was nowhere near Cena's performance as The Peacemaker or even the other two stars mentioned in that list, The Rock and Batista.

John Cena is set for a huge match at WWE's upcoming premium live event

As John Cena's Farewell Tour continues, his next match will take place at the upcoming WWE Clash in Paris Premium Live Event. In a first-time bout, The Never Seen 17 will battle internet sensation Logan Paul in a singles match.

This will be the last WWE PLE that will stream on Peacock for the domestic audience. Recently, it was announced that, moving forward, all PLEs will air on ESPN's DTC streaming service as part of its new multi-year deal with WWE.

The first event on the platform will be Wrestlepalooza, which will take place on September 20 in Indianapolis, where Cena is rumored to battle Brock Lesnar. However, before that, it will be interesting to see Big Match John battle it out with Logan Paul in a blockbuster match at Clash in Paris.
