John Cena avoids commenting on President Donald Trump's Nobel Peace Prize hopes as Machado wins 2025 award

The video captures WWE star John Cena pausing long enough to sign an autograph before a reporter asks about his view on whether President Donald Trump should win the Nobel Peace Prize. John Cena offers no comment and simply moves on. The clip surfaces just after Trump publicly voiced his hope of receiving the award, pointing to his purported role in mediating disputes.

John Cena said:

"No, Thank you."

Ultimately, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize landed on Venezuelan politician and activist María Corina Machado, who is slated to receive the honor, in Oslo on December 10. That moment, in turn, highlights the conversation about Donald Trump's political legacy and the way the international community acknowledges peace efforts.

Here are some fans' reactions:
