John Cena wouldn’t have thought in his wildest dreams that a catchphrase that was born in his bedroom by his brother would go on to become one of the biggest catchphrases in WWE, and then subsequently become a meme.
We are talking about the ‘You Can’t See Me’ meme, which became synonymous with not just Cena’s character in WWE, but also in real life.
