There was a time when John Cena’s appearance was something you could depend on. For over a decade, the 16-time WWE Champ showed up for big matches with the same basic look: a pair of white sneakers, those signature jorts, and a precise buzzcut that looked specifically sculpted for his first day of boot camp.

However, at WWE Super Show-Down over the weekend, the former Doctor of Thuganomics threw a wrench in his own well-oiled machine when he walked to the ring sporting a completely new look. Far longer than usual and styled like JFK cosplay, Cena’s new ‘do inevitably became an instant meme that birthed plenty of hilarious hot takes from fans across the globe, with people coming to call it his “mid-life crisis” cut.   In order to view the video, please allow Manage Cookies

Some fans even compared Cena’s new hair to what former WWE Champion JBL rocked for years over on the Smackdown brand:

Who wears it Better? @JohnCena or @JBLayfield #WWE 😋 #JohnCena #JBL pic.twitter.com/VDaJcl3v4x — Drew Craven (@J_Drew23) October 8, 2018

  Good guy Cena, of course, acknowledged the similarity, giving JBL a shoutout over social media later in the night:

Thank you 🇦🇺 #WWESSD @WWE @WWEUniverse for an amazing evening. Thank you @JCLayfield for the grooming tips. Thank you 🇨🇳 @EyeOfJackieChan for the 👊⚡️! — John Cena (@JohnCena) October 6, 2018

Even WWE had to acknowledge this follicular curiosity:

Same @JohnCena, NEW haircut! It’s been a hot topic of conversation after #WWESSD, but what do you think of The Cenation Leader’s new look? pic.twitter.com/ctnZWIAhoT — WWE UK (@WWEUK) October 7, 2018

Whether this is permanent or just something he decided to unleash on the internet for this one night is unknown. But for now, let’s just enjoy this sight while we can:
