Sydney: World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and Hollywood star John Cena played cricket with Shane Watson during his visit to the country to promote his upcoming movie ‘Ferdinand’. The 16-time world champion was seen smashing a ball out of the park for the Sydney Thunders in Shane Watson’s company. Cena was seen holding the bat like a baseball player before missing the shot when a ball was bowled.
Cena took to Twitter to share his experience in Australia and also the new sport he tried. The 40-year-old had Watson by his side to teach him how to play cricket and he also tweeted about the good time they shared at Sydney.
Watson’s feelings were echoed by the Sydney Thunder team, who tweeted saying that they feel Cena might as well hit some big sixes for them at the Big Bash League, that starts December 9. Sydney Thunder take on Melbourne Renegades at North Sydney Oval to open their campaign.
However, Cena, who is currently promoting his new film is all likely to return to WWE ahead of the Royal Rumble early next year, which leads to Wrestlemania in April. He is expected to break Ric Flair’s record of most championships (16) and become the most successful champion ever. Cena’s new film Ferdinand releases on December 15 in the United States.
