Who is "Black John Cena"?

"Black John Cena" has become an instant sensation on Twitter and social media. A man by the name of Brendan Cobbina recently posted a throwback photo of himself on Twitter, after which it went viral.

Cobbina, a fitness trainer, became the latest viral sensation thanks to his resemblance to John Cena. He even prompted the 16-time WWE World Champion to take a look at the photo.

@JohnCena hey come and see this quickly. Gotta battle the allegations

This caught the attention of John Cena himself, who reposted Cobbina's photo on Instagram without a caption. Interestingly, Cena's Instagram account is based on photos, usually without any major context.

In this case, most people seemed to be aware of the context, with the post being interpreted as his acknowledgment of "Black John Cena."

When looking at Brendan Cobbina's Twitter account, it's clear that he has embraced the memes. With over 64,000 likes, the tweet quickly went viral within a few days.

One can only imagine that "Black John Cena" Brendan Cobbina will be rooting for the former franchise player of WWE, or - as some now refer to him - Cena's "long lost brother."
