Antonio likens himself to WWE icon John Cena after clip emerges of West Ham ace wrestling Watford’s Sierralta to ground

MICHAIL ANTONIO channelled his inner John Cena when he bundled Franciso Sierralta to the ground during West Ham’s win over Watford.

The striker, 31, was trying to get past Sierralta but the defender held onto him to stop him from advancing.

But Antonio, who is one of the strongest players in the Premier League, wrestled his opponent to the ground and landed on top of him.

Antonio was clearly proud by his prowess and posted a clip of the incident on Twitter.

He played John Cena’s theme tune over the video and captioned his post: “Sometimes you just gotta handle business… #YouCantSeeMe.”

The hashtag is a reference to Cena’s famous catchphrase – and he is not the only cultural figure Antonio has likened himself to this season.

In October Antonio celebrated his winner against Tottenham by paying tribute to The Matrix character Neo.

And Antonio has also used his Instagram page to joke around frequently this season.

After West Ham qualified for the knock-out stages of the Europa League he photoshopped his face over Bilbo Baggins from The Hobbit and quoted his famous line: “We’re going on an adventure.”

Antonio also posted a side by side photo of himself and Mark Noble cycling together in training alongside a snap of Channing Tatum and Jonah Hill from the film 21 Jump Street.

At the beginning of the season Antonio also celebrated becoming West Ham’s top Premier League goalscorer in remarkable fashion.

The Jamaican picked up a cardboard cutout of himself and lifted it up in the air, soaking up the adoration from the London Stadium faithful.
