Watch John Cena Cover Pixies On Piano For Some Reason
John Cena, the 16-time WWE Champion and occasional movie star, has dabbled in music before. Back in 2005, when his wrestling gimmick was that he was a battle rapper who would dis his opponents before wrestling them, Cena released a major-label rap album called You Can’t See Me. (I paid money for it.) But that past experience will not necessarily prepare you for the experience of Cena, wearing a tuxedo, sitting stoically at a piano to play a florid, impressionistic instrumental cover of the Pixies classic “Where Is My Mind.”
Cena is engaged to the former wrestler Nikki Bella, who, along with her sister Brie, was once part of a tag team called the Bella Twins. The Bellas’ YouTube channel recently hit 900,000 subscribers, and to celebrate, they posted that classy black and white video of Cena covering the Pixies.
