John Cena is used to stealing the spotlight in WWE, but during a recent appearance at CCXP Mexico, he managed to turn heads in an entirely different wayby eating cooked crickets in front of a roaring live audience.
The moment went down during a panel featuring Cena and director James Gunn. Gunn was the first to bite the bulletor in this case, the cricket. The crowd already erupted when Gunn grabbed the unusual snack and popped it in his mouth. But what happened next sent fans into overdrive.
After watching Gunn handle the crunch with no hesitation, Cena followed suit, grabbing a cooked cricket and casually tossing it back like it was nothing.
The reaction? Immediate and explosive.
Fans in attendance completely lost it, cheering louder for Cena eating the bugs than almost anything else during the panel. It turned into a viral moment on the ground, with attendees posting clips and photos across social media, celebrating Cenas laid-back attitude and willingness to join in the fun.
The cricket-eating spectacle happened during the same panel where Cena revived his cult-favorite alter ego, Juan Cena. While joking around onstage, he was gifted a Lucha Libre mask and began teasing a return of the masked charactersomething long-time WWE fans remember from his 2010 storyline involving The Nexus. After slipping the mask on, Cena joked, I felt like another person. I felt like my secret identity. Yeah you couldnt see me!
John Cenas energy at CCXP Mexico showed once again why hes more than just a wrestler or actorhes an entertainer in every sense.
