McDonald’s is introducing a new McValue menu today, and John Cena loves it.
The wrestler and actor teamed up with the fast food chain to launch the campaign on Tuesday, Jan. 7, telling PEOPLE, “McDonald’s is a global phenomenon, a part of America, and it’s certainly been a staple of my food life since I can remember everything about food. ”
The new wallet-friendly platform includes the popular $5 meal deal, local food and beverage deals and in-app offers (including free medium fries with $1 purchase every Friday in 2025 and a free McCrispy chicken sandwich for new users). There will also be a buy-one-get-one-for-$1 offer on a variety of breakfast, lunch and dinner items.

Cena, 47, shared his trip to McDonald’s, noting, “I’m such a creature of habit.”
He says he usually opts for two double cheeseburgers and two six-pack Chicken McNuggets.
“I don’t drink any drinks because I just want to enjoy the taste of drinks,” he adds.
For breakfast, he says it’s a mix of the McGriddle and the classic Egg McMuffin. He also calls himself a restaurant hash brown “freak”.
“I’ve had that kind of journey with McDonald’s in the almost 48 years I’ve been on Earth,” he says. “Everything on their menu can evoke a range of emotions and they’re all good.”

Cena remembers enjoying the PlayPlaces and Happy Meals chain growing up with his four brothers in Massachusetts.
“I came from a family of five, man, we’d trade Happy Meals and toys, and there was a phase where Happy Meals came with, like, Transformers that started out as a McDonald’s shake, then transformed into a robot, started out as a hamburger, and then transformed into a robot.”
Cena says McDonald’s was also a regular hangout when his older brother got his first job there.
He adopted his current double cheeseburger and McNugget order during his days on tour with WWE, when he needed evening food after events in various cities.

However, there is one menu item that evokes the most nostalgia for him: the Big Mac.
“Man, tasting that Big Mac was something special,” he says. “I think because as a kid I always thought it was an insurmountable sandwich, and then I guess as a teenager I could rely on being big enough to order a Big Mac.”
Cena’s plans for the new year revolve around a WWE farewell tour. In July, he announced that 2025 would be his last year in the ring.
“Every year I proudly evaluate myself and create resolutions and goals in all categories, physical, mental, spiritual,” he adds. “I don’t hit them all, all the time; there are many things I fail at. But I really enjoy setting, like, a long shot and doing my best to reach it.”
