John Cena has won numerous titles and awards during his WWE career, including 16 world championships. He is widely regarded as one of the best WWE Superstars in the industry. Due to his charisma, athleticism, and stage presence, Cena has always been a fan favorite. The former champion recently took social media by storm as a gif of him dancing while wearing a pair of headphones went viral.

Back in 2017, Cena appeared on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and played a segment called the Whisper Challenge. With headphones blasting music, the aim was to guess what was being said by reading each other's lips. Despite the difficulty, the former champion didn't seem fazed by the challenge. After putting on his pair of headphones, Cena began to smile and bop slightly from side to side. Jimmy Fallon himself even cracked a laugh at the dance move before moving on to the game.

John Cena proved himself to be a natural, guessing both of his words correctly on the first try. The crowd erupted into giggles multiple times because of the funny chemistry between the two, as well as Cena's playful comments. Fallon wasn't so lucky, only getting one correct.
