Some wrestling fans may not even realize Cena has gotten into writing for children’s books. Best known as aWWE superstarwith several Hollywood movie roles now under his belt, Cena delved into his new career as a children’s book author beginning with the originalElbow Greasebook in 2018. The book follows a sentient monster truck who is much smaller than his big brothers and decides to prove his worth by entering into a demolition derby. Cena has also written the follow-up title,Elbow Grease vs. Motozilla, which was released last year.Fast Friendswill see Elbow Grease befriending a speedy motorcycle named Chopper. TheElbow Greaseseries has also produced Step into Learning books for early readers as well.
Although he’s a 16-time world champion, Cena’s pro wrestling career has slowed down quite a bit in recent years. He hasn’t been featured prominently in WWE storylines since facing Bray Wyatt in a “Firefly Fun House Match” at Wrestlemania 36 in April, though he hasn’t formally retired and will more than likely compete in the ring at some point again in the future. Meanwhile, in addition to wrestling and writing, Cena has also been doing more work with his acting. He is set tojoin the Fast and Furious franchisewith next year’sF9, and will also have a large role as a part of theensemble cast of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad.
