How was John Cena’s Iconic “You Can’t See Me” Catchphrase Born?
Now that the catchphrase is still alive, many might wonder about its emergence and how John Cena came up with such an iconic line. Well, this has an interesting story to it! According to WWE, the actor revealed that while his brother was messing around with him regarding Cena’s album titled the same name, Sean challenged his elder brother to use it during a wrestling match. The actor said:
“The ‘You Can’t See Me’ thing was a joke from my little brother… This stupid song came on, we started dancing around, and my brother Sean did this dance from a video where he moves his head around his hands.”
