John Cena’s iconic entrance music elicits a major reaction from the fans in arenas. While it is intensely cheered by his fans, it also draws some of the loudest boos in wrestling. The “My Time Is Now” music once almost caused a woman to freak out. The unsuspecting woman woke up one morning to find herself on the receiving end of a hilarious prank call. The “Unexpected John Cena” prank call became famous and broke the internet in 2015. 

The Z Morning Zoo show, famous for its prank calls, phone scammed the woman at the request of her husband. John Cena is admired by his fans from across the globe for his animated presence inside and outside the ring.

John Cena is undeniably praised for his “never give up” attitude inside the squared circle. But he is also an entertainer who exemplifies the characteristics of timeless memes. 

What was the Unexpected John Cena prank call about?

The radio skit featured a woman, Katie, who was already increasingly frustrated with her husband’s love for wrestling. The couple seemingly had a squabble when the husband spent money to purchase the WWE PPVs. The prank call started with John Cena’s music blasting off into the mic.

The prankster, in a growly voice, advertised WWE’s upcoming PPV, “SuperSlam”, which is a parody name for SummerSlam, for $59.99 with John Cena’s music in the background.

After politely refusing, Katie thought that she had heard the last of the WWE ad, but she was mistaken. Her phone buzzed repeatedly with the music 8 more times. Every time Katie answered, she bellowed in anger.

The radio host figured out an innovative way to trick her each time. At one point, Katie answered the phone and prepared to go on a tirade.

But she immediately took back her words when she learned that the caller represented the US Military. Once again, Katie was caught off-guard when the caller revealed that John Cena from the US Marines needed her support. 

Ultimately, Katie was let in on the joke. She may have had the worst morning dealing with nagging wrestling ad calls, but the prank call skit made millions of people laugh.  The prank call even garnered over 50 million views on YouTube.
