WWE superstars are so loved by their fans that they try to mimic their every move. Some have even tried their in-ring finishers at one point in their lives. But, one thing that all fans love saying over and over again is their favorite stars’ catchphrases. It just gets the entire arena galvanized saying the catchphrase in unison with the stars themselves. And recently an unexpected John Cena fan used his iconic catchphrase at a press conference.

KSI claims he can do something no one else can with John Cena

When it comes to iconic catchphrases, there is Dwayne Johnson’s “If you smell, what the Rock is cooking!” and Steve Austin’s, “That’s the bottom line cuz Stone Cold said so!”. And in most recent times, “L, A, Knight, Yeah!”.

But there is one WWE catchphrase that has become a really big meme on the internet. We are talking about John Cena’s iconic “You Can’t See Me!”. The running gag is that Cena is invisible since you can’t see him. During a recent boxing press conference, this was again brought to light with a different take.

Logan Paul is set to face MMA fighter Dillion Danis, the same event will also see KSI faceoff with boxer Tommy Fury. But the recent pre-match press conference got shut early as Fury’s father aggressively threw the tables off stage. Before all this fiasco, KSI was doing his usual trash-talking to Tommy Fury. And Fury aggressively emphasized that he would knock him out by saying, “You’re getting knocked out!”.

In retaliation, KSI tried pulling Fury’s leg by making an iconic John Cena reference. He said, “I’m different bro, I’m different, I’m the one that can see John Cena!”

It made everyone in the crowd laugh, except Tyson Fury. Maybe he is not a John Cena Fan. Either way, the iconic “You Can’t See Me” catchphrase is something John Cena picked up from a 50 Cent music video.

John Cena’s iconic “You Can’t See Me” started as a dare with his brother

Nearly 20 years ago, John Cena was in the process of making his first theme music when he turned heel. And while he was playing various options to get his brother’s opinion, his brother ended up doing a move that he had seen in 50 Cent’s debut single “In Da Club”.

It involved covering his face with his right hand and moving his head from left to right. Cena found it really absurd but his brother dared him to do the same move in the ring.

And Cena improvised that step and moved his hand from left to right clubbing it with the now iconic catchphrase “You Can’t See Me”. And the rest as they say is history.
