WWE Superstar, actor and rapper John Cena won back his World Heavyweight title Sunday night at
WrestleMania XXV in Houston, beating Edge and The Big Show in a Triple Threat Match. (That means all three competitors fought each other at the same time instead of the conventional one-on-one match.)
Between matches like that and his movie projects, Cena told MTV News that being a full-time MC is hardly possible. He won't be making a follow-up rap album to his debut You Can't See Me.
"With my busy schedule, I don't have the effort to put forth something I'd be proud of," he said. "It'll be crap. I'm not gonna do crap. Not just yet. Wait until I hit rock bottom, and it'll be 'John Cena's Greatest Rap Hits.' "
Cena said he does still lay down verses here and there and even has some things in the works with Rick Ross and Snoop Dogg, among others. When asked for five guys he'd love to collaborate with, he can spit his answers off the top of his head as easy as a freestyle rhyme.
"Jay-Z, Jadakiss, 50 Cent, Lloyd Banks, Eminem," he answered quickly. "There you go. There's the five."
Speaking of Slim Shady, Cena paid homage of sort to the rap legend at WrestleMania XXV. Cena had the ring entrance of the night, parading down the ramp to the ring with about 100 look-alikes, bringing to mind Eminem and his clones at the 2000 MTV VMAs.
Cena also had one of the most unforgettable moves of the night, hoisting the Big Show and Edge up on his shoulders (that's over 700 pounds combined weight), before giving both his finisher, "The Attitude Adjustment."
