Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Undisputed WWE Champion John Cena, currently on a dominant heel run during his 2025 retirement tour, recently gave WWE fans a delightful and unexpected throwback at CCXP Mexico. The 17-time World Champion embraced Mexican culture by briefly bringing back his iconic and humorous masked alter ego, "Juan Cena." The memorable moment occurred when, during a panel conversation, the host presented Cena with a Lucha Libre mask and playfully asked if he would bring back the character. Initially, Cena laughed and expressed playful uncertainty. JUAN CENA NA CCXP MX!!! John Cena fez a alegria dos fãs mexicanos ao vestir máscara de Lucha Libre no Palco Omelete. SHOWMAKER DEMAIS!! — omelete (@omelete) June 1, 2025 "Ah yes, Lucha Libre! Yes — thank you so much for the gift. But I don't think the fans would want me to wear the mask," he teased. After some good-natured interaction with the enthusiastic crowd, Cena eventually donned the mask. Once masked, Cena hyped up the audience before exclaiming how it made him feel. "OOOOOH! How did that feel? I felt like another person. I felt like my secret identity. Yeah — you couldn't see me!" he joked, referencing his famous catchphrase with a new twist. Cena then smiled and directly addressed the crowd's recognition of the gimmick: "Some of these people remember — there was a WWE character, a masked wrestler called Juan Cena." The "Juan Cena" persona originated during Cena's feud with The Nexus back in late 2010. After being "fired" (storyline) by Nexus leader Wade Barrett, Cena "disappeared" from WWE television for a short period.

LAS VEGAS, NEVADA - APRIL 20: John Cena is introduced before his match against Cody Rhodes for the Undisputed WWE Championship during WrestleMania 41 at Allegiant Stadium on April 20, 2025 in Las Vegas, then made a surprising return at non-televised WWE live events wearing a distinctive purple and yellow mask, comically marketed as John Cena's Mexican cousin, "Juan Cena."This masked character never had a full run on WWE television and was primarily an attraction at house shows. One of his most notable involvements as Juan Cena interfered in a three-way WWE Championship match featuring then-champion The Miz and Wade Barrett, ensuring Barrett did not win the title. Though the gimmick was short-lived and quickly dropped as the Nexus storyline progressed, "Juan Cena" became a beloved cult-favorite among WWE fans for its sheer absurdity and Cena's commitment to the temporary role. The CCXP Mexico appearance served as a fun, nostalgic nod to this unique piece of his storied career, offering a lighthearted moment amidst his current serious heel championship reign.

"The Black Phone 2" Is More Violent, Scarier, More Graphic, Says Director Scott Derrickson
Yara Sameh "Dead is just a word," that's the message behind Universal and Blumhouse's "The Black Phone 2". The official trailer unveiled Sunday at CCXP Mexico, a pop culture convention being held in Mexico City over the weekend. The movie is the sequel to the surprise 2022 hit that grossed $161 million against an $18 million budget. Based on a short story by Joe Hill, the son of Stephen King, the movie introduced audiences to the Grabber, a masked serial killer who abducts children, locking them up in his basement. One such kid, however, finds an unplugged but haunted rotary phone that connects him to the ghosts of the previous snatched boys, and in that a possible way out. The movie ends with the Grabber dead, so how is he back? The trailer shows builds to a chilling phone conversation between our hero, played by a returning Mason Thames, and the Grabber, once again played by Ethan Hawke, with the latter telling the teen, 'You of all people should know that dead is just a word.' Then the trailer unleashes a barrage of horror images. In a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, Director and co-writer Scott Derrickson elaboratedthe nature of ghost stories. 'The first movie was a ghost movie but all the ghosts were victims, which is typical, a ghost story,' he said prior to the trailer 's reveal. 'But in this one, you've got a ghost that is a villain.' With the first movie, Derrickson tapped into his Denver childhood, where bullies and violence were common. For the new movie, he drew on his high school experience of going to winter camps in the Rocky Mountains. The severity of the weather, the environment and the surrounding Rockies contributed to the tone of the sequel. The difference between middle school and high school ages of the characters is the big change in tone. 'A middle school coming-of-age horror movie is a different animal than a high school coming-of-age horror film,' Derrickson added. 'A there's a ratcheting up of intensity because of that.' Derrickson wasn't necessarily planning on a sequel to "Black Phone" but said Hill wrote to him a month or two after the movie came out with some ideas. And having it set in the high school years proved appealing, especially when he worked out the timing in his head. 'I thought if I go make another movie first and don't make a sequel now like you're supposed to, then by the time I finish, these kids are all going to be in high school,' he explained. The movie he did was the large-budgeted monster Apple TV+ movie titled "The Gorge" with Anya Taylor-Joy and Miles Teller. 'And I can return to these characters in this different stage of their lives.' And because of that, "Black Phone 2" is more of a horror film than the first movie, which he considers to be a supernatural thriller. 'It is certainly more violent, scarier, more graphic,' he said. 'And part of that is because of the age of the kids.' read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Sports Neymar Announced for Brazil's Preliminary List for 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers News Prime Minister Moustafa Madbouly Inaugurates Two Indian Companies Arts & Culture New Archaeological Discovery from 26th Dynasty Uncovered in Karnak Temple Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan
