One of World Wrestling Entertainment's biggest stars is John Cena. Love or hate him, one thing is certain: He's been a massive money maker for the company.
Obviously, he's raking it in.
Turns out he's a car guy too. So, that's cool. Although we've been able to see some of his rides via a short-lived series of YouTube videos he posted to his ex-girlfriend's channel, we hadn't seen the latest and greatest.
The story goes he added the new GT to his collection but realized soon after purchase that he couldn't fit in the damn thing. As you'd expect for such a physical specimen, Cena's got super broad shoulders and the new GT's cockpit is quite narrow — remember, it was built first as a racer.
He dumped it after about one month. Then, Ford chased him into court over the sale. From there the car changed hands a couple more times and now it's hitting the auction block in January.
All that said, whoever attends and is ready to bid should bring serious cash. We're guessing it will sell for over $1MM. It'll be interesting to see just how high it fetches.
