John Cena Says Eric Andre Has the Goods to Become a WWE Superstar Following RAW Appearance

John Cena is impressed — and he’s not shy about saying so. While promoting his upcoming Netflix comedy Little Brother alongside co-star Eric Andre, Cena told ETalk that the comedian and actor has what it takes to make it as a WWE Superstar, comments that followed Andre’s recent appearance on RAW.

Cena, who is spending much of 2025 on a retirement farewell tour through WWE, spoke warmly of Andre’s ability to connect with a wrestling audience. The endorsement carries real weight coming from one of the most decorated and commercially successful names in company history — someone who has watched countless performers attempt to make the crossover between entertainment and the squared circle, with mixed results.

Andre, best known for his anarchic talk show and a long career in stand-up and acting, has built a public persona that lends itself naturally to pro wrestling’s larger-than-life sensibility. His RAW appearance gave fans a taste of that energy, and clearly left an impression on his Little Brother co-star.

The two are teaming up on screen for the Netflix film, set to debut on June 26. Cross-promotional appearances like Andre’s RAW spot have become a reliable part of WWE’s strategy to blend sports entertainment with mainstream pop culture moments, and Cena’s vocal support only adds fuel to speculation about whether Andre might find himself back under the bright lights again down the road.

Whether Andre ever takes the leap into a more formal WWE role remains to be seen, but having Cena in your corner is about as strong a character reference as the industry has to offer.
