The Cenation Leader has been a top draw in the WWE for over 21 years now. He has stood out partially due to his unique sartorial sense, which is far away from what other wrestlers don. And not just his wrestling wardrobe, Cena possesses a unique social media game as well, particularly on Instagram.
The Fast X star, unlike others, leaves his posts captionless. According to him, this facilitates his nearly 20 million followers and others to have their own understanding of the posts. And while this at times might create a divide in opinions, some of his uploads are unequivocal in nature. Take, for example, a post he uploaded after A-Rod’s season-ending injury.
