John Cena Debuts New Ring Gear, Honors The Troops

A number of United States servicemen were in attendence at Sunday’s WWE Vengeance pay-per-view – visiting from the nearby Fort Hood military base.

John Cena debuted a new “Rise Above Hate” t-shirt and debuted a new pair of camouflage shorts, a departure from his signature “jorts” jean shorts ring gear.

The WWE website has a gallery of pictures from Vengeance, including pictures of his new “Rise Above Hate” t-shirt and camouflage shorts, which you can view here.

Cena announced on Twitter a few months ago that he is planning to change his often-mocked ring gear.

At this point, its unknown whether Cena’s camo shorts are a permanent change – or just a tribute to the Fort Hood soldiers who were in attendance.

Cena’ new “Rise Above Hate” t-shirt is available at the WWE Shop website. Also available are “Rise Above Hate” sweatbands, baseball caps and pendants.
