John Cena: The Set Of Fast X Reminds Me Of WWE Locker Room, It’s A Very Family Environment

John Cena remembered his WWE family when he was on the set of Fast X.

Fast X is set to release on Friday, May 19 (no, not that Kane.) Many fans of the Fast franchise are excited to see Jakob Toretto, who is played by Cena, return to the big screen.

Cena recently stopped by Busted Open Radio to promote ‘Fast X’.

In the interview, Cena spoke about how there are a lot of similar parallels between the WWE locker room and the cast of the Fast & Furious movies, who have been making movies together for over twenty years.

“The parallels that the Fast Family runs to a WWE locker room [are] uncanny. I think it’s the way it is because the original cast has been doing it for twenty two years. They don’t want some new person coming in and essentially negating their hard work, so everybody is vetted properly and it’s a real family environment. There’s a few conversations and cocktails that are encouraged, which I really love that. It’s a great place to work and it reminds me of my early days in WWE.”

Cena made his debut in the franchise after he first appeared in F9: The Fast Saga back in 2021. In the interview, Cena was asked if he also had to “pay his dues” in his early days of joining the Fast family.

“Well, you know the term pay your dues is kind of, that’s the kind of terminology that would be thrown around with people of our generation. I would kind of like to encompass that with [the term] bet on the right person. You can get a part, and that’s the same with WWE. You can get a chance to go out there by how you look, what you offer, but overall, if you’re not fit for the company, then the company isn’t fit for you and you’ll be exited out. Fast is the same way, they have a system where they vet you before you go, they make sure you’re the right person, and they make sure you’re not full of shit over the scope of filming. If you’re welcomed in when they believe you’re the right person for the family, just like WWE, it’s a very family environment. If you’re not the right fit, it’s no harm on anybody, but they do essentially make sure to vet the right people.”

John Cena is scheduled to appear in a couple of other blockbuster hits this year such as Barbie,  ‘Coyote vs. Acme’, and ‘TMNT: Mutant Mayhem’.
