According to the New York Post, Oldfield says his buddies had dared him to change his birth name to that of the former World Wrestling Entertainment star. He said:
“We’d had a few drinks and were play-wrestling. We were just messing around, pretending to do announcements like in WWE and one of my friends was introducing John Cena. One thing led to another and they dared me to change my name to John Cena.”

At the same time, The Sun has quoted the young man, saying his mother was just amazed and laughed at the stunt. He added:
“I was going to get a tattoo saying it but did this instead. I always follow through with dares so I just did it. I’m not even a wrestling fan. My mum couldn’t stop laughing at me when she found out. My dad’s more serious so I’ve not told him yet.”
It is also reported that the restaurant worker initially considered simply getting inked with the retired professional wrestler’s name, but then boldly decided to fully commit to completing the dare.
According to the reports, for him to settle his ridiculous vow, Oldfield had to pay $55 (R790) and $104 (R1 485) for documents to legally change his name in the eyes of his bank, including getting a new passport.

John Cena apologises for calling Taiwan a country: "I'm very sorry"
Still on wrestling stories, Briefly News reported that John Cena recently found himself in a pickle while promoting his latest movie Fast & Furious 9 in Taiwan.
While on tour there, Cena made the mistake of referring to the democratic island as a country. This sparked outrage in Beijing because Beijing does not recognise Taiwan as an independent nation and rather as part of its territory, and in fact, has plans to seize it should the opportunity arise.
In a clip that was viewed millions of times, John Cena can be seen calling Taiwan a country while engaging with a fan. Many people were outraged after the clip was shared and this prompted a swift apology from Cena, reports CNN.
"I must say, which is very very important, that I love and respect China and Chinese people. I'm very, very sorry for my mistake. I apologise," said Cena according to an eNCA article.
