In addition to his work with the WWE and in Hollywood, John Cena is also recognized for his unusual social media account, where he frequently publishes random things without any explanation, leaving them for the audience’s interpretation. It’s not only The Champ’s Instagram, but there are additional things related to him that are not typical trends. And last year’s “Black John Cena” trend is something similar.

And now that Halloween is almost here, NJPW’s superstar is thinking of dressing like “Black John Cena” on the October 27th show, The Night Before Rumble on 44th Street, in New York City.

It’s commonly known that there was a strange trend last year, in which the ‘Black John Cena’ became famous after a bodybuilder’s photo went viral. After a year, it is once more a topic of conversation courtesy to NJPW’s Fred Rosser, who said that he is thinking of dressing as Black Cena.

Ahead of the NPJW’s upcoming show on the Insiders Edge: A Pro Wrestling podcast, Rosser stated, “New Japan Strong is doing a show in New York, a Halloween show, and I’m thinking about dressing up as the Black John Cena.”

“So we’ll see how that goes at a New Japan STRONG show. I’m still thinking about it … it’s gonna be my own way, you know, my own version of it, so we’ll see if I do it or not. I’d have to shave the goatee off, too, so I can have that pronounced chin like him.“

It will be interesting to see if he actually does dress like Cena or not. Meanwhile, take a look at ‘Black Cena’ from last year, who created trends.

From the UK, bodybuilder Brendan Cobbina, owner of Omega Muscles, last year posted an old photo of himself.

While he did make an appearance in the WWE ring a few months ago, it was just to commemorate his 20th anniversary with the organization and not to actually wrestle.
