5 WWE superstars who were victims of a death hoax

#2 John Cena

Cena was the subject of a death hoax in 2012

Even The Face that Runs the Place isn’t immune from fake death, it seems, as John Cena was the victim of a death hoax in 2012 when fake news website Global Associated News who claimed that he had passed away in a car crash.

Neither the WWE nor Cena himself responded to the hoax but Jim Ross confirmed Cena’s good health on Twitter when he was questioned on the matter by a fan. This same piece of news made a return to the internet in 2016 when TMZNewsOnline.net – not associated with the actual TMZ – republished the news.

Cena again didn’t address the rumours but tweeted out something else shortly after the news came to light.
