14 years ago today, John Cena made his WWE TV debut in a match against Kurt Angle, and you can watch footage of the debut below.
Both Cena and Vince McMahon took to Twitter today to comment on the anniversary:
Fourteen years ago, #RuthlessAggression made its way into WWE, with the debut of @JohnCena on #SmackDown. https://t.co/1eLK3qv3WZ

I would like to thank the @WWE and its @WWEUniverse for allowing me to live everyday as a dream come true for the past 14 years #NeverGiveUp
