John Cena’s seemingly random social media follows comes from an aim to get views from all sides, the former WWE World Champion has revealed. Sitting down with WIRED to promote his new movie Jackpot, Cena shared the method behind his madness.
“I follow everyone I can, I’m following over 800,000 people at the moment, I will j ust continue to follow a thousand people a day — I follow people from everywhere, I don’t care, no one is off limits, your affiliations, your beliefs, I don’t care because I want to hear all the voices.”
Cena currently follows over 850,000 people on X, with his list of follows ranging from political powerhouses to loyal fans. From Hollywood A-Listers to the quaint Lancashire Cricket Club of the UK, Cena is interested in hearing from all corners of the globe.
John Cena on Social Media
While the WWE icon is closing in on following a million people on X, Cena follows 0 people on Instagram but has amassed 21 million followers on the platform. On Instagram, Cena shares images without any caption of context, leaving fans to speculate on what he means. These images often relate to his projects both in and out of WWE and amass thousands of comments as his followers debate what they mean.
What’s to Come?
Fans can expect to see plenty of Cena in the coming months as the WWE icon will soon embark on his retirement tour. 2025 will mark the end of John Cena’s in-ring career, as the legend shared at WWE Money in the Bank 2024 in Toronto, Canada.
As one of the biggest names in wrestling history, it’s hardly a surprise that several wrestlers have put themselves forward for Cena’s farewell tour. CM Punk hopes to team with John before the latter calls it a career while The Miz is hoping to get one last match with Cena after previously headlining WrestleMania 27 in 2011. Intercontinental Champion Bron Breakker is ready to defend his title against Cena next year. The title in question is one of the few accolades John has not obtained in WWE and the only title Cena needs to complete the Grand Slam.
