Kevin Owens, known for his fierce rivalry with John Cena in WWE, recently dressed up as Cena during a special event held at Walt Disney World. Owens wore John Cena’s iconic yellow Indianapolis Farewell Tour shirt and matching cap at Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party, where attendees were encouraged to wear costumes.
Photos of Owens in full John Cena cosplay quickly circulated on social media, capturing attention from wrestling fans and the broader public alike. Owens was even seen holding a Starbucks cup with the name “John” written on it, adding a playful touch to his outfit.
John Cena Responds by Sharing Owens’ Costume Photo
John Cena acknowledged Owens’ cosplay by sharing one of the photos on his official Instagram account. The post featured Owens in Cena’s recognizable attire, but without any caption or comment, leaving the interpretation up to Cena’s followers. This gesture brought a lighthearted moment amidst their storied WWE history.
An Enduring WWE Rivalry Remembered
Cena and Owens’ competitive history remains a memorable chapter in WWE. Owens made a remarkable debut by defeating Cena in a surprise upset at Elimination Chamber 2015. The two wrestlers clashed multiple times after that, with one of their last encounters resulting in a tag team victory for Cena and Bobby Lashley over Owens and Elias at Super ShowDown 2018.
Their most recent match together took place on December 30, 2022, during an episode of SmackDown, where they teamed up to defeat Roman Reigns and Sami Zayn. Despite this moment of cooperation, future in-ring performances between the two seem unlikely given Cena’s upcoming retirement in December and Owens’ current hiatus due to a serious neck injury.
Impact and Future Prospects for Cena and Owens
This playful cosplay event highlights the camaraderie and enduring connection between two prominent WWE figures, even as their active wrestling careers wind down. Cena’s retirement marks the end of an era, while Owens’ recovery timeline remains uncertain. Fans remember their rivalry fondly, and moments like this cosplay nod offer a nostalgic reminder of their shared history.
