John Cena’s crazy marketing stunt has prompted some hilarious meme content on the internet. The WWE wrestler-turned-actor recently shared that he has joined the adult-themed subscription platform, OnlyFans. Fans initially couldn’t believe the news, but those who clicked on the link Cena shared found a free page under the name Ricky Stanicky. They quickly realized that it was all a promotional tactic for his upcoming film with Zac Efron, titled Ricky Stanicky.
John Cena was last seen in Matthew Vaughn’s spy thriller Argylle. Before that, he played Ken Merman in a brief cameo in the blockbuster hit, Barbie. The trailer for Ricky Stanicky recently dropped online, suggesting a full-on comedy film.
Fans Have Hilarious Replies To John Cena’s OnlyFans Account
Zac Efron and John Cena‘s film, Ricky Stanicky, is set to be released in March. The promotions of the film just received a significant boost with one hilarious stunt from Cena. The Peacemaker actor created an OnlyFans account in the character’s name and revealed it to his audience. However, his suggestive social media post led many fans to believe that the actor created an account for himself. He shared:
…like you’ve never seen me before.

The 46-year-old wrestler’s antics quickly gained attention from social media users, who clicked on the page only to find Ricky instead of Cena. While the idea of Cena selling exclusive content on the site was initially unbelievable, Cena as Ricky Stanicky is killing it on the OnlyFans page. He keeps up the publicity stunt as the page is filled with captions that have a s*xual undertone. One caption read, “Anyone want to hit this one more time?”, while another said, “How deep can it go?”.
Fans also had some hilarious responses to the news of Cena starting an OnlyFans account. The main theme of these comments was the wrestler’s catchphrase in the WWE, “You can’t see me.” The internet once saw ridiculously large amounts of memes on this catchphrase and Cena was also aware of these fun fan-created memes. One user shared that there would be “nothing to see” on the Bumblebee actor’s account, while another shared, “Imagine paying for an empty page.” Fan reactions read:
eh nothing to see here

Despite the OnlyFans creator claiming that the website is purely a subscription platform for celebrity content, the site is infamous for its adult content. Iggy Azalea, Tana Mongeau, and Tyga are a few famous celebrities on the platform who create content for their fee-paying subscribers.
Who Is John Cena’s Ricky Stanicky?
Anyone who reaches John Cena’s Ricky Stanicky account on OnlyFans will get a brief idea about who this imaginary character is. Zac Efron, Jermaine Fowler, and Andrew Santino play three longtime friends who invent an imaginary friend, Ricky Stanicky, as someone to blame for all their misbehavior. When their partners get suspicious, the three hire an actor Rod, played by Cena, to bring the character to life. Ricky’s bio on the account reads (via Digital Spy):
“You’ve found the verified OnlyFans account for Ricky Stanicky; renowned impersonator, philanthropist, investment banker, socialite, cancer survivor and method actor. Subscribe to get SPICY pics and vids.”
The film has been in development at MGM since 2010 and finally made it to production when Amazon acquired the company. Director Peter Farrelly shared in a statement that the film was a dream project of his for many years. He revealed that the great cast of the film made the long wait worthwhile. Farrell shared (via ComicBook.com):
“I’m very grateful to Amazon, as well as Paul Currie, Thorsten Schumacher, and John Jacobs, for finally bringing Ricky Stanicky to life. This has been a dream project of mine for many years but to end up with a cast this crazy good makes the wait more than worthwhile.”
Ricky Stanicky is scheduled to be released on Amazon Prime Video on March 7, 2024.
