WEST NEWBURY, MASSACHUSETTS: In the world of professional wrestling, John Cena, who stands at a height of 6 ft (182 cm), has remained an unbeatable reigning star.

Interestingly, John Cena's height was exaggerated by an additional inch by the WWE, who listed him at 6 ft 1 in (185 cm). 

In a 2006 Khaleej Times interview, John Cena mentioned his height, stating, "I know that I'm 6 ft and 245 pounds and I'm a sports entertainer." In 2009, he doubled down on that figure, saying, "I'm, 6 ft tall and 250 pounds, but even if I look like the Terminator on screen, there's a very human side to my character."

YouTuber Rob Paul commented, "Cena's physique could be the Prototype for a future Terminator and he even looks taller than the original but to be fair his Endoskeleton has lost a bit of height," about the wrestler's height. 

John Cena repeated his claimed stature for a third time in the Sun Chronicle interview when he was asked about his height as he said, "I am 6 ft and if I wear cool shoes I'm maybe six one."



 

John Cena or The Rock: Who is taller?

Dwayne Johnson aka The Rock, has a height of 6 ft 5 in (1.86 m or 186 cm), making John Cena five inches shorter than his wrestling rival.

The Rock's rivalry with John Cena is notable for its mainstream appeal, significance, and influence. Moreover, the two stars faced off in two WrestleMania main events, and their year-long build-up to their WrestleMania 28 clash produced exceptional mic work.



 

Is John Cena shorter than Brock Lesnar?

Brock Lesnar stands at 6 ft 3 in (196 cm), which makes John Cena about three inches shorter than him. "Cena could possibly be the most accurately billed wrestler," said a fan of John Cena, comparing his height to that of Brock Lesnar.

They continued, "In stare downs, he does not look much shorter than 6'2" Brock Lesnar. I would guess that Cena may measure slightly over 6 ft or 184 cm. Could possibly be a weak 6'1"."

Brock Lesnar and John Cena, both graduates from the 2002 OVW class, have been a formidable duo since their first fight. Their hard-hitting matches and promo battles have kept the WWE Universe on edge, with their fights after WrestleMania 28 and Summerslam 2014 being among the best of the decade.



 

John Cena's height compared to Shaquille O'Neal 

An X (formerly Twitter) user once compared John Cena and basketball player Shaquille O'Neal aka Shaq's height, who is 7 ft 1 in (215 cm) tall. The user wrote, "The height difference between John Cena and Shaq shouldn’t make me laugh as much as it does."



 

The stark difference in their statures makes John Cena around one foot and one inch shorter than Shaq.
