Angel Reese has attracted a lot of hate from fans recently. It all began in April when she pulled out John Cena‘s iconic WWE move—”You Can’t See Me”—during the LSU Tigers vs. Iowa Hawkeyes at the NCCA Women’s Basketball tournament finals. But this time, WWE fans believe that she might have taken it a bit too far.

While the incident in April was an on-court healthy trash-talking segment to taunt Caitlin Clark after LSU’s win over Iowa, many were displeased with her, as they believed it was a sign of disrespect to ‘The Champ’ and Clark. Once again, she received some backlash for repeating the trick at ESPYs after winning an award.

Angel Reese performed ‘You Can’t See Me’ during her acceptance speech

This year’s ESPY Awards was held at Dolby Theatre, Los Angeles on July 12. During the event, Angel Reese was awarded the Best Breakthrough Athlete award, recognizing her outstanding achievements in the field of sports. She beat out Caitlin Clark of the Iowa Hawkeyes and Brock Purdy of the San Francisco 49ers to win the honor.

Reese concluded her acceptance speech by replicating John Cena’s “You Can’t See Me” gesture, which she used to tease Clark in LSU’s April win against Iowa. Adding fuel to it is a tweet posted by Clutch Points that termed it as her “infamous hand gesture,” giving credit to Reese instead of Cena. Her move didn’t carry the same weight for many fans, who associate it with WWE legend John Cena.
