John Cena Trainwreck Paycheck: R46 Million Success with a Surprising Twist
WWE wrestler and actor John Cena made a whooping R46 million from the 2015 movie Trainwreck, which has an unsettling scene with actress Amy Schumer.
What Is Trainwreck About?
IMDb reviewed that the movie is about Amy, a lady for the streets, who ironically falls head over heels for a sports doctor, Aaron Conners (Bill Hader), whom she had gone out to interview.
So much in love was Amy that she reconsiders if the fast life of promiscuity is worth all the scheming and ducking she was used to.

Amy did not consider who she dated; her dad taught her that dating one person was a scam. So before fatefully crossing paths with Aaron, Amy hooked up with Steven, played by John Cena, in her long list of escapades.
John Cena Ate Big On TrainWreck
In the 2015 movie, the now-part-time wrestler was a cocky keep-fit-buff, miles from the tough and sentimental guy kids loved in the WWE universe.
According to Buzzfeed, John Cena’s three scenes in Trainwreck cost producer Judd Apatow a wrestling ring-shattering R46 million.
The Surprising Twist In Trainwreck
One of the scenes included eerie tlof tlof, which looked authentic but wasn’t.
Amy Schumer told Opie Radio that the scene was “yikes” for her. John Cena, who was used to tough wrestling trash, equally told Larry King in an interview that it was challenging.

John Cena told Screen Rant that wrestling is scripted, and it was easy for him to perform in the comedy movie. As of July 2023, Capitalism ranks John Cena as one of the most-paid wrestlers, making R159 million yearly. Saknilk also says he is the third most-followed wrestler on Instagram and second on Twitter.
He only trails behind fellow Fast And Furious franchise superstar The Rock. Hard pass!
