“I F**ked Up” – John Cena Makes Heartbreaking Confession

John Cena is finally come to the end of his Farewell Tour.

He is set for his final match against Gunther on December 13th, 2025, at Saturday Night’s Main Event.

During his WWE and Hollywood career, The Champ has faced several ups and downs, but there is one moment from his history where he was in shallow waters for actually going one step further than others!

John Cena had to apologise to China for his mistake

Back in 2021, John Cena was promoting F9. When they got to China, he wanted to do most of it in Mandarin. He was doing an ad read in the language, which referred to Taiwan as a country. He read it as it was, but later it backfired, and he had to apologise for his mistake.

He narrated the entire story on the Joe Rogan Experience.

I got put in a bit of a hot spot. I made a pact to myself when I felt fluent. We would do these global press tours and I was like, ‘You know what, I’m going to do 70% of my media in Mandarin.’ I did. I went over there, spoke, people were taking off the translator headphones, and life was good. Everything was great. At the very end of the day, as with all these press tours, you do a bunch of prompter reads. I’m doing prompter reads for everywhere. ‘Go to this place and see this movie. Go to this place.’

My bad, I didn’t check the reads because it’s the end of a ten-hour day, doing a million of these things. One of them said, ‘Hey, Taiwan, see this.’ It was all in Mandrin. It described Taiwai as a country. ‘Be the first country to see this.’ Over there, they look through a different lens.

Geopolitics are murky waters. That’s what I learned. I said it, left, everyone was cool, I did my thing. I read the prompt. It was a Ron Burgundy moment. I thought, ‘Good job, John. You did 70% and people knew what you were talking about.’ Then they put that out, and everyone was like, ‘What the fuck did you just say? That’s not how we do it over here.’ It was a pretty tense moment for me. I had to apologize to China. In apologizing to China, I pissed off my home country. No one was happy.

It was murky waters for me personally. It’s weird. I think I might have been the only guy to almost get canceled for doing his homework. We can learn from every mistake. My mistake was, just because you know the language, doesn’t mean you know the culture. It was a cool lesson. It sucked, because I was trying to do something good, but it was a cool lesson.
