WWE Superstar John Cena has been one of the biggest names in the wrestling industry for years. The wrestler-turned-movie star is focused on his Hollywood career as of now. John Cena was last seen on WWE in Crown Jewel 2023, where the 16-time world champion lost to Solo Sikoa.
MJF is one of the most popular superstars and a heel in AEW. He debuted on AEW in January 2019 and has consistently delivered stellar in-ring performances since. The 26-year-old wrestler became the youngest superstar to hold the AEW World Title, defeating Jon Moxley in November 2022.
John Cena attended the premiere of the upcoming movie ‘The Iron Claw’, where he met AEW World Champion MJF. Social media erupted upon seeing these two superstars together. With fans having different reactions to the meet-up, some noticed something peculiar. One of the fans wrote on X, “So, remember @The_MJF is billed at 5’11 and Cena is billed at 6’1. Two inches is a lot these days”.

Fans noticed the big difference in height between these two superstars, which seems way greater than their billed heights. Another fan on X tweeted, “You know I was just thinking about that. And I’ve met John Cena….and I am 6’ and was damn near right as tall as him…”
One more fan took to the ‘X’ account to sarcastically comment, “Damn how tall is MJF?” pointing out the fact that his billed height seems more than how tall he is. Some of the audience tweeted in a teasing manner and said, “Wow didn’t know Cena was So tall. Or MJF was so Short”.
John Cena and MJF meeting at the premier was highly talked about on social media. Fans even speculated that The Leader of the Cenation might be moving to AEW or MJF being approached by WWE.
What are John Cena and MJF’s real heights?
The picture of John Cena and MJF together at the premiere raised some questions about the billed heights. Fans were skeptical about the physical stats shown in the pro wrestling promotions. They were questioning if these superstars were taller or shorter in real life.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman, popularly known as MJF, is billed at 5 feet 11 inches (180 cm). Whereas John Cena, the Leader of Cenation, is billed at 6 feet 1 inch (185 cm).

This was probably not the first time both Superstars met each other. Previously, MJF talked about both of them meeting at a movie set where he works as an extra. The AEW Superstar has been a big fan of Cena and has mentioned it repeatedly on different platforms.
Apart from these two Superstars, other pro wrestling stars were also present at the premiere of ‘The Iron Claw’. Liv Morgan, Baron Corbin, CJ Perry, Lacey Von Erich, and others were seen at the event in Los Angeles. It will be interesting to see if Cena makes his comeback to WWE or will continue his Hollywood journey full-time.
