In a riveting interview on Jimmy Kimmel Live, renowned wrestler and actor John Cena delved into a wild tale from his childhood that left the audience in stitches. Cena, known for his larger-than-life persona in the WWE, recounted the time when friendly wrestling matches with his brothers escalated into a chaotic showdown.

Cena revealed that his father, a huge wrestling fan, allowed him and his four brothers to wrestle only when wrestling was on TV. This turned their basement into a makeshift wrestling ring. According to Cena, these matches often got out of hand, but one particular bout stands out in his memory.

During a heated battle for the "ultimate champion of the universe" title, the situation quickly spiraled out of control. Cena's brothers grabbed a sledgehammer and a chainsaw, respectively. In a bid to join the fray, Cena himself grabbed a kitchen knife as they all charged around the house. The chaos reached its peak when their saintly mother intervened, taking down all three of them to restore order.

This comedic and somewhat terrifying family anecdote offers a glimpse into the playful yet intense environment that shaped Cena into the wrestling superstar he is today. Cena's storytelling prowess and his mother's epic intervention made for an unforgettable segment on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
