John Cena is thrown the prom he never had by fiancee and Ellen DeGeneres

John Cena appeared as a guest on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and revealed that he was too busy working to attend his own prom.

Feeling sorry for Cena, Ellen decided to make it her mission to throw the 40-year-old a prom he’ll never forget – even she chucking in a king and queen snap of John and his fiancee Nikki Bella!

Cena attended his pop up prom, revealing: “I hate surprises, but this one I like!

The trio enjoyed a glass of punch and posed for pictures sporting their crowns, in front of a teal velvet backdrop and under a silver glitter ball.

Talking to Ellen on the show, Cena said: “I went to boarding school and it was a co-ed boarding school, so I kind of saw these people all year anyway, and I was dead broke.

“I had the chance to stay on campus and earn some money, so I didn’t go to prom.”

Cena also appeared on Wednesday’s Project to talk about his latest film, Blockers and brought up the story of how he missed prom.

He said: “So, I had an option of going to prom night or, because I lived at school, I had the option to work on campus, so I spent the night working on campus to put some extra money in my pocket. I missed out on the night of my life.”

Despite missing out on his big night, he went on to discuss how he made up for it later. Cena has followed in fellow wrestler Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s footsteps as he’s now appearing in a number of films. His latest movie, Blockers, is about a group of parents who try and hijack their kid’s plans to lose their virginity on prom night.

But starring in the movie hasn’t turned off John from fatherhood, instead making him even more open to the idea.

He revealed he understood parenting from both sides of the fence, and even though he used to think his dad knew nothing, he now looks back and realises he was right about everything.
