John Cena reveals weird pre-match superstition he had during his WWE run

WWE legend John Cena recently appeared on “The Kelly Clarkson Show” and revealed that he used to have a weird pre-match superstition during his WWE run.

Cena came up to WWE's main roster in 2002, and went on to become one of the biggest Superstars in the history of the promotion. He won 16 World titles, and is a sure-fire first-ballow future Hall of Famer.

The WWE veteran recently sat down for a chat on “The Kelly Clarkson Show”, and revealed an interesting bit from when he was a mainstay in WWE. Cena stated that he used to gobble several boxes of Tic-Tacs before every match, to help with his nerves.

"My thing was always Tic-Tacs. It's a nervous superstition that I always have before we go on a broadcast. I had to ween myself off of them 'cause I would eat up to like three boxes a day. It's pretty much 10,000 calories in straight sugar."

He completed his MBA from the Symbiosis Institute of Telecom Management in 2016 and worked with multiple banking institutions, including Tech Mahindra. While he started writing WWE articles for Sportskeeda in 2019 as a hobby, it eventually became a significant part of his professional journey.

Abhilash checks his articles thrice before sending them to the editing team, ensuring his work is highly accurate and reliable.

He has interviewed prominent pro wrestling personalities like Noam Dar, Angry Miz Girl, Brendan Cobbina, and Jesse Lambert. Abhilash is a big fan of AEW star Orange Cassidy, as he believes the former International Champion’s on-screen gimmick of an extremely lazy guy resonates with him.

Given the opportunity to script WWE’s next big storyline, Abhilash would treat fans to the second installment of The Bloodline Civil War. He would book Roman Reigns to re-form The Bloodline with The Usos and Sami Zayn upon his comeback. The angle would see The Tribal Chief-led group go head-to-head with The Rock, Solo Sikoa, Tama Tonga, and Jacob Fatu in a blockbuster family feud.

When not reporting on pro wrestling, Abhilash likes to work out, go on walks, read, and explore new eateries.
