John Cena has broken his silence—sort of.
After the chaotic impersonation segment on the November 24 episode of WWE RAW, where fans were duped into thinking the 17-time world champ was making a surprise appearance before Survivor Series, Cena took to Instagram to respond in the most Cena way possible: silently.
On November 28, Cena posted an image to his Instagram—no caption, no explanation. The image? A surreal, edited photo of the impersonator known as Syko, a performer from Big Little Brawlers and the Micro Wrestling Federation, reimagined as “STONE COLD SYKO” with wild eyes, soaked hair and a bandana.
Cena didn’t say a word, but the visual said plenty—acknowledging the viral moment without needing to drop a promo.
The segment in question aired during RAW’s go-home show before Survivor Series. Dominik Mysterio was in the ring when Cena’s iconic entrance music hit, sending the Oklahoma City crowd into a frenzy. But instead of Cena, a little person decked out in full Cena gear hit the ramp, complete with jorts, the hat, and exaggerated salute. Behind him was another mini-performer dressed as WWE’s longtime camera guy “Stu.”
Dominik acted like he was going to ignore it, then attacked. Rey Mysterio ran in to save the impersonator, and the crowd ate it up.
It was confirmed that the mini-Cena was played by Syko—a breakout personality from Discovery’s Big Little Brawlers and one of the top names in the Micro Wrestling Federation. He performs weekly in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, and has now officially become part of WWE’s Survivor Series hype.
Cena vs. Dominik for the Intercontinental Championship is already confirmed for November 29 at Petco Park, marking the first Survivor Series held in a stadium setting.
