WWE superstar John Cena
Many Indian fans of Cena were wondering if he ws supporting Team India ahead of the Test series against West Indies.
The post has already got over 41,000 likes and that must have left Cena surprised. But he has to understand that while he has 4.3 million followers on Instagram, Kohli has 5.6 million.
The image was posted by Cena a part of his campaign to promote another brand. He has been promoting WWE Smack Down, which is blue, while WWE Raw is associated with red. He has been using images from the Keanu Reeves-starrer 'Matrix' to 'Bleed Blue'.
