A bunch of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) superstars came together to wish their Indian fans around the world a warm ‘Happy Diwali.’ CM Punk, AJ Styles, Drew McIntyre, Joaquin Wilde, Stephanie Vaquer, Lexi Cabrera, Tiffany Stratton, Jade Cargill, Lina Fanene, and Charlotte Flair shot a video greeting for the WWE Ki Diwali campaign.
John Cena too joined the squad as he wished Happy Diwali. The 17-time world champion and Peacemaker (2002-2025) star shared Diwali wishes on X for the Cenation. Cena wrote, “Wishing a happy Diwali to everyone around the world.” However, the fans complained of not being able to see him in the Diwali greetings. IYKYK.

The internet, meanwhile, also wished their favorite stars a very happy Diwali, while others shared their grievances, along with memes. One user asked, “Where is the legend? Undertaker?” A user requested, “Need wishes from Roman Reigns.” Several other users too demanded “a Diwali wish from the Tribal Chief.” Yet another user made a mockery of the WWE sportsperson’s pronunciation of the word Diwali: “It’s दिवाली, not डिवाली!” Meanwhile, a skeptical user quipped, “Hope this is not AI generated.”
Where is the legend The Undertaker? 💀?
