The world of WWE and NFL are two very contrasting realms of sports. While both require immense physical strength and endurance, a crossover between the two is highly unlikely. However, recently, a bizarre piece of news has been doing the rounds. WWE superstar John Cena has signed up for the Kansas City Chiefs!
Now, as weird as this sounds, the piece of information has allegedly been confessed by none other than Patrick Mahomes himself! With the speculation meter threatening to go off limits, below we make an attempt to get to the bottom of the viral query.
Did Patrick Mahomes Really Tease A John Cena Connection?
Well, in simple words no. Mahomes did not mention anything about Cena donning the Chiefs’ jersey. On the contrary, the WWE superstar is currently busy juggling between Hollywood and the formerly Vince McMahon owned company. However, there has been a situation from where the entire John Cena rumor probably started.
The Kansas City Chiefs were almost losing out on their unbeaten status in their last game. Thanks to an impeccable offensive play from the Denver Broncos, the Chiefs lost all hopes as the Broncos steadied up for a 35-yard goal. However, Will Lutz could only watch in disbelief as Leo Chenal managed to do the unthinkable. He blocked Lutz’s attempt to score, thus handing the Chiefs a 16-14 victory.
It was then that Mahomes went ahead and addressed Chenal as John Cena of the Chiefs. Speaking with the media, Mahomes stated, “Leo Chenal’s FG block is a crazy way to find out he’s nicknamed John Cena… “He’s extremely strong… I mean, he’s got the strength of a D-lineman but plays the linebacker position. I mean, you don’t want to be that guy when he’s working out. We call him John Cena.” Well, now that the John Cena debate is settled, it is good to know that this was not the only controversy Patrick Mahomes was involved in.
