What would the WWE be without John Cena? That is a question many wrestling fans had asked themselves over the last ten years, as Cena and the WWE have become synonymous with one another. However, wrestling fans knew Cena's time in the WWE were over when Hollywood came calling for the former World Champion.

Still, the legacy Cena left behind will never be forgotten. Everything from his iconic dream matches with AJ Styles to his verbal battles with the likes of CM Punk will remain highpoints of WWE TV.

While we on the topic of Cena's best moments in the industry, who could forget Cena's infamous 'You Can't See Me' album? While it would be so easy for critics to pick apart Cena's album with ease, but in this article, we are not going to do that, as that wouldn't be any fun. Moreover, when you take the time to listen to these songs again, it feels oddly refreshing.


#1 Right Now

Many fans might feel this is not one of the strongest tracks on the album. However, the main reason it's on this list is to show a different side of Cena his fans might not have seen before. "Right Now" is a song that documents a bit of Cena's life growing up in West Newbury, Massachusetts.

From showing us Cena's childhood memories as an aspiring wrestler to Cena appreciating the people in his life, this song exposes the softer side of the sixteen-time World Champion. It touches on the importance of Cena's family and the fact that he realised his childhood dream. Even if this song doesn't necessarily appeal to you, it does provide you with some motivation that one can achieve their career aspirations in life.

#2 Bad Bad Man

If John Cena ever turned heel, this would be the perfect entrance theme for him. 'Bad Bad Man' has some of the slickest bars of the entire album, as judging from the music video, Cena was having a good time creating this track. The song sees Cena team up with his cousin Tha Trademarc and Bumpy Knuckles to parody everyone's favourite 80s show, The A-Team.

Cena portrays John "Hannibal" Smith, while Tha Trademarc plays Howling "Mad" Murdock and Bumpy Knuckles acts as B. A. Baracus. While I would've put the official music video on this list, just like Cena past 2010, let's keep things PG. For those interested in seeing this glorious parody, you can find the video here.



#3 We Didn't Want You To Know

The 'You Can't See Me' album was Cena's debut studio album that was released by WWE Music Group and Colombia Records back in 2005. The album was a tool to get Cena's name promoted in mainstream media, as the company had plans to make the young champion their next big babyface.

One can't say that ingenious plan by the company didn't work out, as Cena's popularity shot up after his rise to the top of the promotion. 'We Didn't Want You To Know" is a direct outcome of this rise in popularity Cena enjoyed in 2005.

From bragging about his newly found fame to proclaiming that he is now "running the game", this is a version of Cena fans wished stayed around a bit longer.

#4 Now What

This is one of the tracks on Cena's album that stands out, and maybe that is due to the quick, efficient hook or the ice-cold verses. This song sees Cena team up with Tha Trademarc to craft one of the more laid back songs on this album.

While the beat on this track may make it seem relaxed, Cena and Trademarc tried to bring some life lessons here which make it more than an easy-going melody. Moreover, Trademarc elevates the slower tracks on this album, and this one is no exception.


#5 Just Another Day

This might be a biased option, but from my point of view, "Just Another Day" might be Cena's most thoughtful track on the entire album. While it may not sound as catchy as one would expect or the bars are not that hard-hitting, the structure of the verses and words can feel relatable to anyone listening.

Cena plays the polar opposite of Tha Trademarc on this track, as both men rap about the problems in their respective lives. And throughout the song, we learn that Cena's issues might not be as big as his cousin's.

However, one of the last lines of the track reveals that they have one thing in common even though they live on opposite sides of the financial spectrum. You could call it cheesy 2000s underground rap, but it's a thoughtful theme to incorporate in a wrestler's rap album.
