5 wrestlers who have college degrees

#5 John Cena

Cena played football in college

Speaking of the man who buried Wade Barrett, the last name on this list is John Cena himself. Before he was The Face that Runs the Place, Cena was a college football player who earned a degree in Exercise Physiology and Movement Studies before embarking on a career as a bodybuilder.

A reasonable academic decision when you consider his choice of degree and his physical prowess. Pretty soon the WWE would come calling, though, and Big Match John has never looked back since.

Having had a Hall of Fame-worthy career with him recently winning his 16^th World Title to equal Ric Flair’s record, it is an absolute pleasure that we can see John Cena work his magic in the WWE and we can all be thankful that he left behind his interest in Exercise Physiology and Movement Studies to pursue his dreams in the WWE.
