Wimbledon 2025 opened with unexpected drama on the court as 23 seeded players were eliminated in the first round, including top names like Alexander Zverev, Coco Gauff, and Daniil Medvedev. But it was the action off the court on Day 3 that truly captured public attention — courtesy of WWE legend and Hollywood star John Cena.

Dressed in a sharp, light grey checkered suit, Cena turned heads as he arrived at Centre Court, accompanied by his wife, Shay Shariatzadeh. Cameras quickly found the 16-time WWE champion, and a clip shared by Wimbledon's official X (formerly Twitter) account sent social media into a frenzy.
