As The Doctor of Thuganomics, Cena used to often rap to introduce himself before a match. This is also when he started wearing hats and sports jerseys as part of his ring gear. As the character evolved, Cena started introducing new moves for his iconic slogan - 'Word Life'. At the start, John Cena’s new persona didn’t get a lot of views. His feud with Triple H made him a household name.
