John Cena Teases WrestleMania Match with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, Talks Ricky Stanicky and Barbie

-It's great to see you, friend. -It's good to see you too. How's everybody? Good audience. A little pep in your step. -Can I tell you what made me so happy? She was watching the big hit movie "Barbie." And who do I see in the water with Dua Lipa as the merman Ken but John Cena, and that made me happy all summer? That calmed me down... Come on, that's fantastic. -That's an interesting perspective. -Now, how did this come about? -Man, that's a happy accident. Yes. I met Margot Robbie at dinner by chance, we worked together on "The Suicide Squad" and she is fantastic.

She came over and gave me a big hug. She said, "You should do 'Barbie.'" I said, "I'm trying to do 'Barbie.'" And she was with the people who made the decisions for "Barbie." And she's one of those people who turned around and said, "The kid is in the picture." Then I get a call the next day. -Did you think you were going to be Ken or...? -Well, I didn't think it was going to be Merman Ken. But then I became Merman Ken. -Yeah! -And in the process, we made your summer! -I mean, you made my summer.

And Dua Lipa, who we love too. -Yes, that was a fun day. I don't sing, and I got to sing to him, and that was an audition. -A little stress, yes. -A little stress. Just taking me out of that comfort zone. -John, I don't want to pressure you or anything. You know, when you're here... -You showed me a photo of me as a merman singing to Dua Lipa. -Thank you. -We can't... -Because when you're here, you're family. That's our motto. -I think it might be... -And then when you're here... -...borrowed from somewhere. -No. It's ours and... -But you write yours as H-E-A-R, "when you listen." -Yeah.

When you hear it, you are family. -Good. It's good, awesome. -WrestleMania 40 around the corner. -It is the 40th installment of WrestleMania! -WrestleMania 40! -Wrestlemania! -Now I follow you on Instagram. And I always love what you post, and someone thinks that maybe you announced something. The fans are going crazy. You posted this. -Yeah. -He-Man versus a person I don't really know. -Don't you know Fisto? -Fisto? -That's Fisto. -I don't know him, Fisto. I know I loved He-Man. -Yes, although He-Man was a bit weak in the naming category. -Yeah. Fisto. That's that guy's name because he has a giant... -Man-E-Faces was a guy with many faces.

Stinkor was like a skunk. -Yeah. -Fisto is a guy with a fist. -Yes, he is a guy with a fist. I'm a He-Man fan, but people on Instagram say this means something. This means that maybe you and The Rock are going to get in the ring together. Can you confirm it here tonight? WrestleMania 40! -People are talking about WrestleMania 40! -WrestleMania 40. -They are speculating that The Rock and I will be in the ring in Philadelphia for WrestleMania 40! They're going to keep talking until it happens! We do not know yet! That was not satisfactory. We just took the wind out of their sails.

I mean, do you want me to make you a promise I can't keep? -No. -Do you want me to write a check that I can't cash? -No. I don't want to ruin anything. -Am I in the business of writing checks that my ass can't cash? Is that what we're doing here? -No. -Is that the type of equipment you carry? -No never. But it is yet to come. When is? April? -It's April 6. Philadelphia. -Oh, did you know the date? -Yeah. -Oh, you know where it is. -I know exactly where it is. -Hey. -I mean, that day I'm free.

Just say. I'm just telling you guys. Now the power is coming back a little. Now comes the energy. We have a drum roll. The suspense is increasing. -Because maybe we see a little... Or maybe we don't see a little. -You know, um... Maybe... This is a great answer. Maybe you won't see me there. Yes we did it! We did it! -What did we say? We didn't say anything. We dodge the question. We dodge it. "Maybe you won't see me there." -Thank you. Alright. -"Maybe you won't see me there." -Just spend three minutes doing nothing. -I'm sorry.

Every time you come, we do this. By the way, this is your fourteenth time on our program. -Man, you are the best. -And you know you are the best. We love having you. -The truth is that it is very fun. Very funny. -Let's talk about “Ricky Stanicky”. -There is a lot to talk about. Look at your cards back there. -I have many things as props. Well, I'm so... First of all, Peter Farrelly. -Yeah. -I love the man. He's one of the best directors out there, one of the best comedy directors out there, one of the best comedians out there. -Great human being too. -He is the best human being, a great dad.

But I also worked with him on "Fever Pitch." He loved him very much. -Oh! -Thank you so much. Keep up the applause. That was almost deafening. We will add the applause to the post. But "Ricky Stanicky." -Jimmy, you know what? You worked with Peter on "Fever Pitch," right? -No one remembers. Nobody remembers it. Did he play a joke on you? -So he didn't do it, but, man, he broke the ice in a big way. The first time we got together to do the reading, Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, Jermaine Fowler, Pete and I, I was dressed like that.

Then I'm taking my wife to dinner. I'm too dressed to read at the table. And if you could, we'll recreate something. Come on. -Sure. Of course. So am I you? -Then you are me. I'm just going to... Excuse me. I'm just going to need you to... Okay. So you are me and I am Peter. And Peter said, "Oh, hey. Well, you look great. Sir, can I take your coat?" Yes please. -Of course. -Hey, you're a gentleman. -Oh. Thank you. Thank you so much. -Yeah. Did he do that? -Oh, absolutely. And that moment came. Now you can be Peter and I'll be me.

There was that moment of... Hey! Alright! -Yeah. -That kind of... -The ice broke. -Yeah. -It's one of the funniest. -It's just relieving the tension. -Yes I love that. -That's the first day he's done that to you. -We started our production with a great quote. And "comedy should be funny." Tonight should be fun. This is a fun environment and he lives by that quote. His sets are fun. His jokes are funny. He never takes himself too seriously. And I loved working for him. -Look what you have done. -Because that's life. Check it out. -Look at John Cena like all these characters. -There's a lot of makeup there.

Lots of makeup. -When you did that, did you realize that this is a comedy? -When I did that, I had to call my mom afterwards. -Say: "Yes, I did it, mom." -Mom, I made it, -I made it. How do we set up "Ricky Stanicky"? This is on Prime Video. -Well, this one is an easy sell to your audience because they like to laugh, and... -There you have it. Exactly. -Watch this. -It is funny. -You like to laugh? -It is funny! Do you want to laugh? -Do you like to have fun or do you just sit at home kicking the can down the street like a nihilist?!

If you have a pounding heart and a half-hearted smile, watch “Ricky Stanicky” on Prime Video! -Yeah! That's exactly right. -Damn! -Absolutely! I want to show a clip. Here's John Cena in "Ricky Stanicky." Have a look. -Why are you interrogating my mother? She is not being judged. -Because I want you to admit that Ricky Stanicky does not exist. -Hey, mishpocha! Let's get to the point. - -Oh yeah! -You did it. The boys are back. -Alright! -Jackie! -Ricky? -Oh, you look amazing. -Oh! -You're still a MILF. - My God, look at you. Oh, you haven't changed one bit. -The mysterious man incarnate. -Well, churn my butter with a slippery stick.

I finally get to meet Erin Hartford. You're even more beautiful in person than the photos Dean always sends me. -Are you sending photos of me? -Oh, in good taste, of course. Even the nude ones. -That's what awaits you. That's what awaits you. -“Even the naked ones.” John Cena, everyone. "Ricky Stanicky" is available tomorrow on Prime Video. John and I are doing something fun after the break. Stay.
