"I do. I wear jorts often. I also wear suits often. I enjoy a suit. The jorts are more for work. I’ve been wearing them for over 20 years. It started as a way to help define my character. It was a character based in hip hop culture and hip hop fashion. Way back, 20 years ago, was the end of the large baggy jean short era. I’ve tried many other forms of shorts. I always like to wrestle in street clothes because I think it sets me apart from other performers and helps people attach to the personality. Cargo shorts and any other material except denim rip. We run a family program. For young folks to see the ugly bits too soon is just not a way to grow up," Cena said on WIRED when answering the most Googled questions.

Cena will hang the jorts up at the end of 2025 when he retires from in-ring competition. Fans can learn more by clicking here.
