American wrestler John Cena has been reportedly taken to court by Ford.

According to TMZ Sports, Cena was sued by Ford for allegedly violating the company's contract by selling his 500,000 USD 2017 Ford GT.

As per the contract, Cena, who was picked from thousand of applicants for the opportunity to purchase the car, had agreed to keep it for at least two years, before being allowed to sell it.

"Mr. Cena has unfairly made a large profit from the unauthorized resale flip of the vehicle, and Ford has suffered additional damages and losses, including, but not limited to, loss of brand value, ambassador activity, and customer goodwill due to the improper sale," TMZ quoted Ford as saying.

In his defence, Cena told that he sold the car and other property to pay bills.

However, Ford has now asked Cena to lend all the profit, which he has earned from the car flip, to the company.
