Amy Schumer has once again reminded the world why her comedy leaves no room for timidity — or filters. The comedian recently stirred laughs and headlines by revisiting her infamous bedroom scene with John Cena from the 2015 film Trainwreck, joking that the WWE superstar was “actually inside her” during filming. Equal parts shocking and hilarious, the remark was quintessential Schumer — bold, self-deprecating, and perfectly timed.

In Trainwreck, Schumer plays a commitment-averse journalist opposite Cena’s overly earnest gym buff, Steven. Their awkwardly intimate scene was meant to parody romantic clichés, and Schumer’s later retelling made it even funnier. She joked that lying under Cena felt like having “a refrigerator pressing down” on her, adding that his sculpted physique was “its own solar system.” For Schumer, discomfort has always been fertile comedic ground — the more absurd, the better

Cena, for his part, has been equally candid about the scene, confirming years later that it was “intentionally awkward.” On Conan and again on Club Shay Shay, he admitted that shooting such moments is anything but sexy — surrounded by cameras, crew members, and choreography. He credited Schumer for keeping the atmosphere light, saying her humor made an otherwise embarrassing setup feel effortless and fun.

Nearly a decade later, their scene still circulates online — a pop culture relic that perfectly captures both Schumer’s fearless wit and Cena’s surprising comedic charm. What could have been an ordinary rom-com gag instead became a defining moment for both stars: Schumer, the master of turning cringe into comedy gold, and Cena, the wrestler-turned-actor brave enough to play the punchline. Together, they turned awkwardness into art — and laughter that’s still echoing years later.
