John Cena has returned to the screens, but not before some serious drama entailing it. To promote his recently released comedy-actionJackpot, the 16-time professional WWE world champion wrestler cum actor didn’t hesitate to do everything that would catch Gen Z’s attention. While the trailer for the film in itself was one thing, the actor decided to take it many steps further.
To promote this exclusive movie, Cena is carving out some really creative gimmicks to really put his voice and movie forward under the limelight. One of these latest moves included him explaining the plot of the film using Gen Z terms. And, considering how he previously even joined an adults-only site for one of his films, fans are feeling there are simply“no depths too low for him.”
John Cena Has Pulled Up An Exclusive Antic To PromoteJackpot
Collaborating withAwkwafinaamong other hotshots, Cena has returned to the screens with his exclusive Prime Video movieJackpot. In this comedy-action piece, he can be seen as Noel, the bodyguard who protects Awkwafina’s Katie after she wins a ‘Grand Lottery’ that allows other lottery losers to kill her before sundown to claim the multi-billion dollar prize legally.
As out-of-the-box as the movie’s synopsis sounds, thePeacemakerstar decided to break it down in even simpler terms for Gen Z to understand: By using their own iconically invented vocabulary. The 47-year-old tried promoting his movie using“Gen Alpha terminology”this way, as shared by@DiscussingFilm on X:
Jackpot’s got the rizz! It takes place in a not-so-distant future where the lottery is mewing at $3.6 billion dollars. Podium. But people are mad beta if they win the lottery, since it’s legal to kill the winner and take their earnings over a 24-hour span. Fanum tax, am I right?
While that is enough to explain just whatJohn Cenahas been up to lately, that’s not all he said. As it turns out, the actor had a lot more to say, especially about Awkwafina realizing that“she’s taken a W“and that“she’s gotta get herself and her drip to safety.“

“I need one night with the Queen”: John Cena Would be Canceled Today if He Made the Same Demand for a One Night Stand With a Wrestling Legend’s Girlfriend as Payment That He Made 18 Years Ago
Talking about his character Noel and when he steps into the picture to team up with Katie to, apparently, save her, he says:
A Giga-Chad Sigma bodyguard with big gains who knows what he’s doing—major, major aura points. I save that gyatt! There’s some sus villains with big Skibidi toilet vibes, so you better believe it’s gonna get lit to the max after that. So grab your popcorn, bring your rizzlers because this film ate. FACTS.
Concluding with a smug“How’d I do? Kill it? Snoogins.”Cena ended the clip, ending his run of using Gen Z terminology to catch the youngsters’ attention to the core for his film withSimu Liu. But while he may be proud of just how accurately he used all of those slangs to promote his movie, fans can’t help but balk at the cringeworthiness of this situation.
Did John Cena’s Promotional Technique Fall Short of Appeasing Fans?
Nonetheless,fans are having some of the most baffled reactionsto this new, creative venture devised by the wrestler cum actor for his movies. To say the least, fans’ wincing reactions are cooking Cena over his cringeworthily creative ideas to bring his projects under the spotlight. Taking to X, here’s how they’re reacting to the same:

There are no depths too low for him to go when he’s promoting a movie.

Most corny clip I’ve ever watched
“I went to Dwayne’s mom and…”: John Cena Ended His WWE Feud With Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson In an Unexpected Way After Realizing His ‘selfish’ Actions
Well, that corny dialogue may be having fans balking but one thing can’t be denied for sure: John Cena has most certainly proven that, when it comes to promoting a project he is involved with, he can just leave behind evena mastermind like Ryan Reynoldswith his incredibly cringeworthy yet commendably creative ideas.
Jackpot is currently available to be streamed on Prime Video.
