John Cena began using The Time Is Now as his WWE entrance theme in 2005, the same year it appeared on his debut album You Can't See Me, recorded with Tha Trademarc. The track and Cena's You Can't See Me catchphrase became inseparable from his career. Online, the opening fanfare later fuelled the Unexpected John Cena meme, where videos and prank calls built up an unrelated scene before blasting the theme and a shout of his name, turning the song into shorthand for a sudden, over the top arrival.

John Cena's iconic WWE entrance theme 'The Time Is Now' as a short clip, used for surprise entrances, wrestling edits and unexpected meme reveals.
This clip features the opening of John Cena's WWE entrance music, The Time Is Now, built around a bold trumpet fanfare and a driving hip hop beat. Cena raps the familiar hook over punchy drums as the music builds instant energy and recognition. Even without visuals, the first few seconds signal that someone important is about to appear. In edits it works as a musical punchline, turning an ordinary entrance, reveal or appearance into a dramatic moment, especially when the person on screen is unseen or arrives completely out of nowhere.
