Angel Reese didn’t apologize but acknowledged John Cena. As everyone knows, the LSU superstar Angel Reese’s skyrocketing success saw unexpected resistance in the form of a dejected John Cena fan base who blasted the NCAA Champion for emulating the WWE legend’s signature ‘You Can’t See Me’ move during ESPYs award function. Fans turned furiously on her to the point of asking for an apology. However, she didn’t do it for the first time. The basketball phenom sparked a lot of discussion, pulling off the same Cena-themed move earlier. She also grasped the limelight this year as well while burying Iowa’s Caitlin Clark in the national title game.
Daya after the Cenation Leader’s fans took her to court, Reese once again rose to the headlines. She dragged herself into John Cena’s business, but this time to heap support.

John Cena’s Barbie is the current talk of the town. Despite facing tough competition from Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, Mission Impossible, and several Marvel blockbusters, Greta Gerwig’s brainchild delivered on the hype. While Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling’s stunning acting in their eponymous roles as Barbie and Ken majorly contributed to the incredible reviews, the former WWE champion’s break-out character as a merman was also a key reason behind the pre-booking frenzy.
Also, the team ensured no loopholes in the vivid marketing with a host of celebrities posing with fake doll boxes all over the internet. The entire social media wall, in fact, turned into a pink Barbie land before the movie hit the theatre.
Now, eminent Basketball Ball figure Angel Reese, 20, joined the majority by unboxing her new Barbie kit on an Instagram story. She thanked the movie production house for sending that amazing gift hamper.
The 20-year-old wrote, ‘OMG I’M OBSESSED😭💖🥹. Thank you,” announcing herself as an official Barbie fan, a key project involving John Cena.
However, Reese also had the luck to crack a blockbuster deal with Cena’s $800M rival, Dwayne The Rock Johnson.
