Is John Cena coming to Overwatch 2? The Enigma’s identity revealed

While Overwatch 2 players are waiting for Season 6, the professional wrestler and actor John Cena had a surprise in store for them. Here’s what John Cena is doing in Overwatch 2 Season 6.

Blizzard officially revealed what the mysterious messages appearing in Overwatch 2 were about. Fans were correct in their assumption that the developers were collaborating with the professional wrestler and actor John Cena, although not in the way many of them wished.

The rumors started when Overwatch 2 content creators were interrupted by mysterious messages in-game leading to the upcoming Overwatch 2 Invasion update. Players noticed when streamer Nathan ‘KarQ’ Chan was ‘hacked’, an HTML-style code appeared with a hidden message inside.

As Reddit user Umarri pointed out, the lines included a shortened URL that links to an image reading “JC” and includes a font family called ‘Felix-Antony” (John Cena’s two middle names). This mysterious code also adds the color code ‘#042377’, which translates simply to April 23, 1977, the day Cena was born.
