WWE superstar John Cena and Erling Haaland have left the football world in stitches after appearing in Manchester City’s promotional video for their pre-season tour of the United States.
City shared the amusing video on their official X account, which shows Haaland answering a call from a secret super fan. The Norweigan answers the phone to the 16-time world champion.
“How come I can’t see you?”
John Cena hilariously responds while donning a wig to try and pull off his best Haaland impression. The wig may also remind movie fans of his lead role in the new flick Ricky Stanicky. The WWE icon responds:
“You can’t see me? Camera must be broken… anyway what’s this I hear about a US tour?”
Haaland confirms Manchester City’s pre-season tour of the USA while John Cena amusingly celebrates while on the stream. The Premier League’s top scorer finally catches a glimpse of the WWE star and tells him:
“You have to stop doing this.”
You can watch the promotional video and the funny back-and-forth between the pair below:
Haaland’s spectacular rise at Manchester City is identical to how Cena established himself in WWE. Since joining the Etihad in July 2022, the Norway international has scored 81 goals and provided 15 assists in 87 games across competitions.
City will hope to have earned more trophy success when they travel to the United States for preseason. Pep Guardiola’s side is still alive in three competitions.
They are now third in the Premier League and have advanced to the FA Cup semifinals (against Chelsea on April 20). The reigning European champions are also in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, facing Real Madrid.
