John Cena just took a subtle shot at surprise appearances in WWE — and fans think they know exactly who he was talking about.
During a live episode of Six Feet Under at WWE World ahead of WrestleMania 42, John Cena joined The Undertaker and Michelle McCool to talk about several topics — including his thoughts on celebrities popping up at WWE events without a clear purpose. Cena made it clear he’s not a fan of random appearances that don’t add to the story or make sense in the moment.
“I hate when people just show up without a reason. I hate when people show up without a why.”
While Cena didn’t mention anyone by name, the comment immediately got attention because of last year’s WrestleMania 41, where Travis Scott made a surprise appearance during the main event involving Cena and Cody Rhodes. That appearance drew mixed reactions from fans at the time, especially since it didn’t lead to any major storyline developments afterward.
Cena is set to host WrestleMania 42 this weekend, marking one of his biggest public WWE appearances since announcing his retirement from in-ring competition back in December. While he’s officially serving as host, there’s still speculation about whether he could get physically involved in the show.
With Cena making it clear that every appearance should have meaning, fans are now watching closely to see if any celebrity cameos during WrestleMania 42 actually tie into the storylines — or risk drawing the kind of reaction he just warned about.
