Canadian rapper and singer Aubrey Drake Graham, simply known as Drake, released a new song called Wick Man. It is written by Drake, The Alchemist & Koen De Bruyne and is from the album titled For All The Dogs Scary Hours, an album that consists of 29 songs. The song was released on November 17 and, wouldn’t you believe it, it contains a reference to our very own John Cena.

John Cena and Drake have never crossed path in their career. So, why did Drake decide to include John Cena in his song?

Drake references WWE legend through his song

On November 17, 2023, Drake launched For All the Dogs Scary Hours Edition, a reissue of his eighth album. It adds six tracks, evolving from Scary Hours (2018) and Scary Hours 2 (2021). Just six weeks after the original album, he announced Scary Hours 3 on November 16, 2023, with a reflective trailer. The new tracks were written and recorded in five days, showcasing Drake’s spontaneous and distinctive creative approach.

In the song Wick Man, he made a reference to WWE legend John Cena to show his emotions. John Cena’s name is mentioned in the second line of the second verse. The line reads as follows, “I’m almost expressionless, John Cena wouldn’t know emotions I wrestlе with.”

In the subsequent stanza, the artist delves into the challenges of grappling with emotions and striving for perfection. The mention of John Cena and the metaphor of wrestling with emotions implies a struggle to convey genuine feelings. Particularly, the reference is towards Cena’s catchphrase of “You can’t see me“.

As of now, John Cena has not responded to Drake’s reference. But, John Cena is not new to the world of rapping as he himself is some sort of rapper before he turned into an actor and a WWE legend.

Despite being a WWE Legend, fans miss John Cena, the rapper

Cena was from the legendary batch of OVW 2002 that consisted of Brock Lesnar, Randy Orton, and Batista. To stand out, he had to do something different, and boy did he deliver. Before he became the guy Vince McMahon for the Ruthless Aggression Era and the PG Era, he was a struggler who failed to stand his ground after his rookie year.

However, advice from Stephanie McMahon gave birth to Doctor of Thuganomics, a career-changing move. Cena gained popularity but had to drop it immediately due to another major change in character and gimmick. But despite adopting a new gimmick, fans often recall his past gimmick that they loved so much.

What do you think about John Cena’s old gimmick? Do you like Drake’s new song?
