The present WWE champ is formally wrapping up his profession within the ring this yr, however there will definitely be components of that point that can observe him perpetually. Chief amongst them is his traditional “You’ll be able to’t see me” catchphrase. Cena appears to embrace these continued quips as they arrive, although his Peacemaker collaborator, James Gunn, is not a lot of a fan, to Cena’s amusement.
Cena’s WWE line has ended up on t-shirts and has develop into a meme in its personal proper that always takes the assertion actually, suggesting that Cena is in photos the place he’s not, however is definitely invisible. Whereas CinemaBlend was within the viewers through the Peacemaker Season 2 panel at SDCC, Cena revealed Gunn’s disdain for the catchphrase, and he proceeded to provoke in complete bit with the intention to troll the DC Studios co-head. Test it out:
Cena’s dialogue of being “invisible” got here following a query relating to the truth that he’ll play a number of variations of the Peacemaker character throughout Season 2 of the HBO Max sequence. It does not seem that any of the variations of the character will truly be invisible, if solely given that James Gunn writes the present and he doesn’t assume the jokes are humorous.
It could actually’t actually be argued that the “You Can’t See Me” jokes aren’t extremely foolish. Nonetheless, it appears that evidently Cena doesn’t thoughts that. For no matter cause, it’s not totally clear why Gunn doesn’t love the gags a lot. Whereas Gunn is laughing via the change, he actually would not appear to be he doesn’t thinks it’s that humorous.
As anyone who does discover all of it humorous, I like the meme — and I feel I additionally love that James Gunn hates it. It truthfully makes your entire factor funnier.

It means he gained’t be actively related to that character anymore, although it actually doesn’t imply it will likely be forgotten. We nonetheless make jokes about smelling what The Rock is cooking as we speak, though the reply is often an enormous cheat meal.
Whereas James Gunn could not discover invisible John Cena humorous, he clearly thinks John Cena is kind of humorous. Peacemaker’s first season was a delight, and Season 2 has each cause to be simply pretty much as good, if not higher. The one factor that may be sure is that all through the subsequent season, we’ll alweays be capable of see John Cena.
