Widely regarded as one of WWE’s greatest wrestlers and a potential future Hall of Famer, John Cena is set to receive a special award that transcends the wrestling realm. Cena’s illustrious career, filled with numerous accomplishments, is now being acknowledged with a unique honor outside the confines of the wrestling ring.

Prior to his celebrated WWE career, Cena served as the captain of the Springfield College football team in NCAA Division III. In 1999, he earned a degree in Physiology, showcasing his commitment to both academics and athletics. The NCAA has recently announced that John Cena will be presented with the Silver Anniversary Award on Wednesday, January 10.

The Silver Anniversary Awards are granted in recognition of the 25th anniversary of the NCAA. As per the statement released by the NCAA, Cena is being acknowledged for his contributions as a student-athlete. Notably, he was inducted into the Springfield College Athletic Hall of Fame in 2015, and in 2017, he received an invitation to the Under-40 Awards Celebration Ceremony.

 

Cena’s recognition extends beyond his collegiate achievements; the NCAA is also honoring him for his accomplishments as a professional athlete. Alongside Cena, boasting an impressive 10-time Slammy Award-winning WWE career, five other individuals are set to receive this special award on January 10. The NCAA highlighted Cena’s multifaceted career in its statement:

“John Cena’s football career concluded with the Springfield team, and he has achieved success in professional wrestling due to his athletic prowess. Today, he stands as one of the most recognizable faces in the pro wrestling universe, holding a 16-time former WWE Champion title. Beyond wrestling, Cena is acknowledged as a rapper and actor, solidifying his status as a versatile entertainer. His relentless work ethic and versatility cannot be overlooked.”

Reflecting on Cena’s most recent WWE match at Crown Jewel 2023, where he faced a one-sided defeat against The Bloodline member Solo Sequoia, Cena’s contributions to sports and entertainment continue to be celebrated and honored, both within and beyond the wrestling arena.
