Peyton Manning roasted the 14-Time Champion in an award show event
At the 2017 edition of the ESPYS, Manning delivered his opening monologue by welcoming the crowd to the event and addressed himself as the host of the event. The night was extra special as ESPYS celebrated its 25th anniversary that day as revealed by The Sheriff.
Manning then goes on to roast the WWE and Hollywood star, Cena, by making a comment. The comment said, “This anniversary show is going to be different because the ESPYS are being hosted by a former athlete… Okay okay, I know what some of y’all are thinking right, John Cena hosted the ESPYS last year, and he’s an athlete. John Cena is an athlete just like Ryan Lochte is a reliable witness.”
In response to this, The Face that Runs the Place did his hand gesture, ‘U Can’t See Me’. It was his way of giving approval to Manning’s joke.

WWE professionals don’t bring their on-screen character, drama, and rivalry behind the scenes. The on-screen rivals tend to be good friends behind the scenes in most cases.
