John Cena has been invisible in Fortnite for far too long, but don’t worry, we think we can see him just over the horizon. Although we’ve already had one collaboration with James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, another one could bring the muscular might of Cena to the map. 

Epic Games is never one to miss an opportunity for a crossover, so keen to follow in the footsteps of Spider-Man: No Way Home and The Book of Boba Fett, HBO’s Peacemaker series is primed to let Cena flex his muscles as the titular antihero. 

Is John Cena Coming To Fortnite?

A post shared by John Cena (@johncena)

While we’ve been here before, the man himself has pretty much confirmed he’ll be jumping off the Battle Bus very soon. Posting on Instagram, Cena shared the loading screen for Chapter 3 Season 1 - featuring the inverted map. It’s possible he’s just a big Fortnite fan, but come on, read between the lines.

Remembering that fellow WWE favourite Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson recently joined the party as The Foundation, Cena would be in good company. You might also recall that one of those famous Fornite bundles was leaked months ago as a supposed tie to The Suicide Squad

The latest update suggests it will be a Peacemaker bundle instead. The series has just wrapped on HBO Max, and as viewers in the UK wait for its arrival, now would be the perfect time to add the chrome-domed lead and Eagly the eagle as a back bling. 

When Could We See John Cena In Fortnite?

In response to his Instagram post, fandom went into overdrive that Peacemaker is ready for his next mission. “John Cena vs the Rock in Fortnite,” wrote one, while another added, “John Cena about to be looped.” Basically, everyone is psyched, so we’ll look pretty stupid if he doesn’t land in Chapter 3. 

We could try and figure out if it’s real by checking whether Cena follows Fortnite on Twitter, but seeing as he follows pretty much everyone, we’re out of luck there. Putting all the pieces together, we’d guess a Peacemaker bundle could be an imminent arrival in the Fortnite shop rotation.
