John Cena has always proudly hailed from West Newbury, Massachusetts. Those are the mean streets where the 16-time world champion, movie star, and chart-topping rapper cut his teeth, long before he was starring in Hefty commercials with his mother.
There’s going to come a time when Cena gets a statue commissioned by WWE for their traveling Hall of Fame display and Stamford offices. He’ll one day be in bronze, right alongside Ric Flair, Andre the Giant, Dusty Rhodes, Bruno Sammartino, the Ultimate Warrior, and whatever is left of the Seth Rollins statue.
But there’s some new developments that indicate Cena’s hometown is also planning on commissioning a statue of the WWE Superstar, and might end up beating his longtime employers to the punch. There are fliers and promotional items being handed out in West Newbury that indicate a statue of the noted jorts enthusiast is on its way.
According to Reddit user The_Magic, the following items are being handed out to pedestrians in West Newbury, boasting of an incoming statue.
The flier reads as follows:
Can’t see John Cena? Soon you will!
He’s a 16-time world champion. He’s been in movies. He’s even had his own rap album [You Can’t See Me, 2005]. And now, thanks to thousands of petitions from fans in his home town of West Newbury, our hero is finally being recognized with a statue.
Of course, it should be noted that there is absolutely no confirmation that any statue is actually happening, and that someone may very well be playing a hoax with fliers and spray-painted action figures. Come to think of it, has anyone heard from Nathan For You lately?
