John Cena was sued by Ford after selling rare 2017 Ford GT supercar
The wrestler-turned-actor found himself in hot water after making a profit from the car
John Cena made history in April by winning the WWE Championship for the 17th time – but the fact he was once sued by Ford proves the wrestler-turned-movie-star has had his fair share of challenges, too.
Cena, 48, earned his record after securing a win against Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania – an achievement that successfully pushed him above previous record holder Ric Flair to earn more world titles than anyone in the history of the company.
The wrestler looks set to go out with a bang as he’s announced plans to retire at the end of this year, but of course wrestling isn’t all Cena is known for.
Over the years, he’s also taken on roles such as Peacemaker in Suicide Squad and Jakob in Fast and Furious – and let’s not forget the role of ‘that guy who was sued by Ford after selling his rare 2017 supercar’.

Cena found himself in this particular role after he purchased the Ford GT the year it was released, when it was priced at more than $450,000.
Ford only produced a few hundred of the supercars each year, so owners who were lucky enough to get their hands on one of the vehicles were also met with some strict rules.
