JOHN CENA
John Cena opens the WWE United States Championship 'Best of Five Series' against Booker T at SummerSlam on August 15, 2004 in Toronto, countering Booker's scissors kick into his F-U finisher (renamed Attitude Adjustment years later) for the win in match one of five. The series played out across the fall and was ultimately settled in Cena's favor at No Mercy, all during the early 'Doctor of Thuganomics' rapping gimmick built around his 'Word Life' catchphrase. Mattel's 2016 Defining Moments Series 6 figure dresses him in the throwback #54 jersey and chain-link necklace from that Toronto night.
- Cena's 'Doctor of Thuganomics' look carries over intact on this 2016 Defining Moments Series 6 piece: throwback #54 jersey
- printed wrist bands
- chain-link necklace
- 'Word Life' knuckle detailing and a removable WWE visor
- all at 6-inch scale.
