As John Cena counts down the matches until his retirement, we're reminded of the time he lifted the lid on his personal life in the form of a reality TV show.
That's right, the WWE legend confirmed last year he's hanging up his belts after 16 world championship wins and a dazzling 24 year career.
From debuting on the main WWE roster in 2002, to controversially going part-time for a career on the silver screen years later, Cena is known for both his wrestling legacy and his Hollywood performances.
Yet last summer, Cena confirmed he would be retiring from wrestling for good - while in March, he shocked fans once more by transforming into a evil 'heel' as he took aim at WWE champion Cody Rhodes, singling out a young fan in the crowd while doing so.

Cena is set to face Rhodes once again at his final ever Wrestlemania, which takes place across Saturday April 19 and Sunday April 20 at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Cena and Rhodes will clash as the latter attempts to defend his Undisputed WWE Champion title - or perhaps Cena will secure his 17th champion title? We'll see...
Anyway, back in 2014, Cena and his then-fiancée, wrestler Nikki Garcia, took part in reality TV show WWE Total Divas.
It offered a rather eye-opening, if somewhat comedic, insight into Cena's personal life and controversial house rules he made all house guests - including Nikki - follow.
One Cena fan took to X, formerly Twitter, to post a compilation video of the legend's 'funniest and most iconic' moments from the show.
In one clip, the moment Garcia gets back from the gym and begins to get changed is shown, as she whacks her workout gear in a storage stool.
This irks Cena, causing him to swiftly hop off the bed as he muttered under his breath: "This isn't going to be good."
Before Garcia even had the chance to grab a the shower, Cena quickly opened the storage stool and fished out her 'dirty' workout gear.
Cena cautions: "Hey, Nicole... Hey, these are workout things. The smelly clothes hamper is over here. And the nice clothes hamper is over here."
Cena then transfers the clothes to another storage stool right next to it, before grabbing some 'smelly socks' and demonstrating putting them in the correct hamper, before pretending to make the hampers speak.
This, it turned out, was just the tip of the iceberg.

John Cena on 'Total Divas' delivered some of the funniest and most iconic moments on TV ever
Lets take a look back at history: pic.twitter.com/HPpknJQ02j
Garcia goes on to reveal Cena allegedly gave her 'a paper' for her to sign, which 'refers to [her] as a guest'.
She explained: "It says you agree I may pursue monetary damages or other equitable relief to compensate me for any loss he may suffer for me being a guest to the home."
It also ruled that if Cena asked her to vacate the home, she must do so and 'remove any or all items' she brought with her within '48 hours of [his] request'.
Another moment shows Cena talking to dinner guests about 'obeying the rules' and wearing 'a clean set of shoes' and to 'respect the house as if it's [their] own', alongside the tradition of women 'retreating to the drawing room' and men 'to the cigar room' before all gathering for 'morning coffee together, an evening fire outside' and informing them of when trash day is.
Garcia commented: "John has a lot of rules, of course I know that better than anyone because I've had to sign a contract to live in this home. This is his baby."
As ever, fans were eager to share their thoughts, as one reckoned: "That contract is crazy," as a second wrote: "A house pre nup is wild."
Others jumped to Cena's defence, however, as one person typed: "It's his house his rules, I like it, he's an organized clean man and he wants his home to represent that."
I'll be thinking of Cena the next time I'm chucking my dirty gym clothes in a drawer, that's for sure...
