3. John Cena as a Date Show Host

One of the first skits of the show saw John Cena as a date show host for a girl (Cecily Strong) trying to pick out which one of three guys she wanted to date. She would be choosing her “hunk”. But, when Strong saw Cena and how he was built, she immediately got attracted to him, which annoyed the three contestants.

Cena didn’t have to do much in this segment except be subtly arrogant about how he looked. He spewed off a few lines that made him show off how he looked before the game could even start, and this made him fall for Strong and anger the contestants even more. This led to the two of them kissing after staring into each other’s eyes for so long.

Also, the 15-time world champion had hair that looked exactly like WWE commentator JBL’s; he had a comb over that looked the part and except for the lack of the Southern accent, he could have been passed off for the former tag team champion.

This skit was one of many with “SNL” trying to show off Cena as being this muscle guy, as evidenced by all the “hunk” material in this one. Would it end up being a positive theme?
