2. Cena as Rob Gronkowski

John Cena would dress up as New England Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski on the game show, “Where’d Your Money Go?” This would be about professional athletes trying to learn how to save their money. Cena looked and fit the part of Gronkowski, even getting some of his mannerisms down, and fit the part well. It almost looked like a mix of actor Mark Wahlberg, which is a mix of everything Boston.

Cena acted foolish and silly like Gronkowski would, using his hands to talk and speaking in an accent that made him seem like a “dude”. He got mocked by the host, who played Charles Barkley, pretty much every time he made a response.

This skit had its moments, which were mostly highlighted by Cena playing the jocky Gronkowski. It would be a theme of most of the evening as “SNL” played off his muscles and look throughout the show.
