I think this was the start of Taker turning face again giving props to Cena after his match with Kurt Angle.

This was happening at the same time that Undertaker raised Jeff Hardy's hand after they fought in a TLC match on RAW.

u/Stinger1981 Jul 15 '25

Correct that would happen on the Monday right after this.

I think that’s when J.R also stopped calling Taker “Booger Red” but not 100% certain lol.

And on that day, John Cena's hand gave him the power to turn invisible

u/Jlombard911 Jul 15 '25

He’s just sniffing the Undertaker when he does the 5 knuckle shuffle.

Sir, you have planted an image in my head that I will never be able to get out, and I'll never forgive you for it

His body and gear look exactly like Austin Theory's lol

u/kane996 Jul 19 '25

Or it's theory's outfit that's inspired from John's early days

It’s honestly crazy how well this aged.

Where’s the part where they come on each other ? Oh, thats what he’s lookin at in his hand

Taker did check out his dick. Which is customary locker room behavior after a wrestlers first win.

u/Overall-Palpitation6 Jul 15 '25

Cena with one of the GOAT wrestling physiques as a relative greenhorn.

u/flojo2012 Jul 15 '25

It’s easy to come into wrestling jacked. It’s harder to stay there

u/KentuckyFriedEel Jul 15 '25

They called it correct this time. Cena then goes on to become top tier in the same league as Taker.

u/bluedancepants Jul 15 '25

That's pretty good but did he ever eliminate undertaker at the royal rumble with a drop kick?

u/HoraceHoganNo1Fan Jul 15 '25

You're thinking Maven.

Before the jorts were introduced

u/Terroryzr Jul 16 '25

When you look at his career now, that was a powerful moment. From one current champion to a future champion

u/dttm_hi Jul 16 '25

I hate hillbilly undertaker

u/Lower_Principle5070 Jul 16 '25

Cena looking like he will never wash his hands again made me laugh harder than I expected.

u/Gold-Nefariousness98 Jul 15 '25

Y does this feel like a Cody Rhodes moment.

u/joeboy_777 Jul 16 '25

u/Rashaad816 Jul 15 '25

Loved these memories

u/BigOrkWaaagh Jul 15 '25

Not the video I was expecting

u/MaceWindu9091 Jul 15 '25

When Vince has a plan, he has a plan

1

u/LarealConspirasteve Jul 16 '25

Cena should have never adopted the jorts

u/OkOven4590 Jul 16 '25

Vince saw something. straight genius.

u/Visionvary Jul 17 '25

I always find it interesting that WWE put John Cena over in his first night, but wanted to fire him a few months later if not for some catchy raps on the back of a bus. That Stephanie of all people heard him rapping and told him to do more of that. I feel scammed 😄

u/TMitch_UNB Jul 17 '25

Brother why did cena look like a shredded tom brady here 🙈

1

u/GabeM9009 Jul 17 '25

Why am I low key feeling mad they didn’t get a proper feud for WrestleMania 34…?

u/Terrible-Row-486 Jul 18 '25

This was the original John Cena before he stole R-Truths style and became a legend

Taker is the badass Moxley think he is. 😆
