John Cena became one of WWE's biggest stars in the 2000s, performing to The Time Is Now, a hip hop theme he recorded himself and released in 2005. The track's opening horns and crowd cheering made his entrance instantly recognisable on television and at live events. In 2015 the entrance became the Unexpected John Cena meme online, where videos built up to something else before cutting suddenly to his music and name. That bait and switch format spread across Vine, YouTube and forums, keeping the sound popular long after the original pranks.

The John Cena WWE entrance theme meme sound, famous for the unexpected trumpet intro. Creators use it for surprise reveals and over the top entrances.
This clip is the unmistakable John Cena entrance blast from WWE, built around a loud trumpet fanfare and the opening of his theme The Time Is Now. It starts like a serious sports introduction, then hits with instant recognition and comic exaggeration. Even people who never watch wrestling know the rhythm and expect a dramatic reveal. The sound works because the build feels heroic and overconfident, turning an ordinary appearance into a main event moment. It lands as both a tribute and a punchline, depending on how sudden the entrance is.
