Amidst Donald Trump Indictment News, John Cena Gets Dragged Into Political Mess Thanks to Former POTUS’ Supporter

Former US President Donald Trump has grabbed the headlines again. The 76-year-old has been charged with 34 felony counts, that he has pleaded not guilty to. These relate to the hush money payments he made before the presidential election in 2016. The 45th US President known for his antics before he assumed office in White House is also no stranger to the WWE.

At WrestleMania 23, Trump won the ‘Battle of Billionaires’ against Vince McMahon, causing the latter to shave his head as per the match stipulation. While the two didn’t jostle, their appointed wrestlers- Bobby Lashley for Trump and Umaga for McMahon- fought it out. Lashley won and McMahon had to let go of his hair. Six years later, in 2013, Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. He has stayed away from the squared circle since.

Meanwhile, John Cena got dragged into the Trump controversy amid news of the billionaire’s indictment, begging the question, what did Cena do and how did he get involved?

John Cena’s long-running joke gets him dragged into the Trump controversy

Donald Trump supporter Vernon Jones took to Twitter on April 6 to send a message to Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg.

He said, “DA Bragg, the Dist. Attorney from New York, Manhattan, I got a message for you from President Trump.” He followed it with Cena’s signature “You Can’t See Me” gesture, adding, “You got it.”

The Trump supporter also tagged The Cenation Leader’s Twitter profile.

It is not sure why Jones chose the WWE legend, though he is not the first one to use the signature move. It is so popular that recently WWE used it to promote their 2K23 game.

John Cena’s signature move started as a dare initially

The 16x World Champion’s “You Can’t See Me” has become a part of pop culture to an extent and taken on a life of its own, but actually started as a dare that Cena reluctantly agreed to. Cena made the revelation while appearing on Graham Norton’s talk show.

The wrestler-turned-Hollywood star said the iconic gesture came as a suggestion while he was recording his theme music. Cena’s brother put the hand in front and started bobbing his head and, when quizzed, said it was the trend. He asked his brother Cena to perform the move in WWE.

After convincing himself that he has nothing to lose, Cena set out to do it on national TV, but instead of bobbing his head, he shuffled his fingers, thus creating the now iconic step.
