Unexpected John Cena

Unexpected John Cena,[1] also known as simply Unexpected Cena[2] or And His Name is John Cena,[3] refers to an Internet meme and a form of trolling[1][2] involving videos that first garnered popularity on video-sharing services such as Vine and YouTube in the summer of 2015. The meme was born and inspired by numerous prank calls done on Norfolk, Virginia radio station WNVZ's Z Morning Zoo show in 2012. The clips, noted by one writer to symbolize frustration of fans of WWE regarding American wrestler John Cena's over-publicity, depict a snippet of a popular film, TV series, song or other form of media that gets interrupted by Cena's entrance video, as an announcer yells "And his name is John Cena!", or simply "John Cena!",[4] and his theme song "The Time Is Now" plays, often loudly. The meme was very well received by journalists and Cena himself.
