WWEs unfolding mystery took another turn on October 27, 2025, when John Cena posted a cryptic image to Instagram.
The photoshowing a pair of black dress shoes mid-stepmirrors the visual style of WWEs first teaser in a series of recently released vignettes.
The timing and visual match have led many to believe Cena is directly referencing the teaser campaign. WWEs videos have featured small but deliberate changes in wardrobe: black dress pants in one, orthopedic shoes in another, and most recently, casual jeans. Each variation has driven speculation that multiple individuals could be involvedand now Cenas Instagram post adds even more uncertainty.
The first teaser sparked early theories about GUNTHER, especially after WWEs Saturday Nights Main Event theme, Obsession, was faintly heard in the background. That same song has been linked to Cenas rumored retirement match, reportedly set for December 13.
Now, with Cena engaging directly, its no longer just a slow-burn mysteryits something the top names in the company are clearly invested in.
