“The Champ” is back in 2K.

Rumors regarding the potential cover star of WWE‘s upcoming 2K23 video game began to circulate last week, and now, they are confirmed.

Monday morning, WWE and 2K unveiled a new commercial featuring Bad Bunny, Logan Paul, and Austin Theory talking with an invisible John Cena, before the camera pans over to the 16-time WWE Champion playing the new game as himself.

Last month, Cena had reportedly filmed a segment with Austin Theory while the two were backstage at SmackDown.

Prior to the game’s official reveal, John Cena had teased his potential involvement on his Instagram, posting a mock, blank cover of 2K23 — alluding to his signature phrase “You can’t see me.” With Cena as the face of 2K23, it marks his first cover position in eight years since 2K15. In addition, Cena will be featured on the covers of the Deluxe and Icon editions of the game as well.

I don't like the idea of Cena being on the cover but I guess it is to help sales.

I will get this game so I can beat up Bad Bunny and hopefully Logan Paul lol
