How to play as John Cena in PGA Tour 2K23

After garnering love from wrestling fans, 16-time WWE World Champion wrestler and Hollywood star John Cena is set to make an appearance on the PGA Tour 2K23. In a recent tweet from the PGA Tour 2K23 account, the famed champ was added to the roster in a surprise reveal, which no one saw coming. John Cena will be officially available as a playable character starting April 7, 2023.

He will feature alongside some other iconic characters, such as basketball stars Michael Jordan and Steph Curry. Clad in red, white, and blue, the character art has a slight nod to John Cena's iconic DC superhero role as the Peacemaker.
