RAW Superstar John Cena
"Everybody usually warms up and stretches out. My sh*t is real basic. I say to myself, 'Good luck, be safe and have fun,' because it’s what I love doing."

"I drink other people’s bottles of water, believe it or not. I’ll never open a new bottle of water, but it’s got to be cold and I always smell it before hand so I’m not drinking Vodka or any sort of gimmicked up drink."

"I always knock on wood, and always before I go out there -- and this is something that you can see in the match right before the bell rings every the time because I go out there with a lot of energy, and I’m kind of just rowdy and having fun—but when it’s time to get serious you’ll see me back up against the corner, put my head down, hit the corner, and then I’m coming out swinging. So, those are the things I do every single match."
