When John Cena made his WWE debut in 2002, it took months for him to find a character that connected with the audience. However, the 2002 Halloween party on SmackDown saw him dress as Vanilla Ice and rap to Stephanie McMahon, and he would continue to incorporate rapping into his persona in the years to come.
In 2005, John Cena even released an album entitled You Can’t See Me as a joint venture between WWE and the Columbia record label. In addition to his infamous theme song that shares the album’s name, the record included such gems as Bad, Bad Man.
Meanwhile, current AEW World Tag Team Champion Max Caster can be seen on AEW television every week, rapping his way to the ring alongside his Acclaimed tag team partner Anthony Bowens and “Daddy Ass” Billy Gunn. The team may be more well known for scissoring, but Caster’s raps have earned him plenty of attention, even getting him in trouble at times when his lyrics became too controversial.
Hit Row’s Top Dolla Believes He Has Better Flow Than Max Caster Or John Cena
Ringside News recently asked fans on social media who has the better flow between Max Caster and John Cena. While this led to plenty of debate amongst fans in the comments, WWE SmackDown star Top Dolla took the opportunity to hype himself up, replying with an emoji of an up arrow followed by a stack of money, indicating that he believes himself superior to both John Cena and Max Caster.

Along with his fellow Hit Row stablemates B-Fab and Ashanti “Thee” Adonis, Top Dolla returned to WWE on the August 12th episode of SmackDown, re-introducing themselves to fans after being released from the company in November 2021.
Hit Row originally included Isaiah “Swerve” Scott, who now performs as Swerve Strickland in All Elite Wrestling. Swerve and former tag team partner Keith Lee captured the AEW World Tag Team Championship back in July, but lost the title to Max Caster and Anthony Bowens of The Acclaimed at AEW Dynamite Grand Slam on September 21st.
Top Dolla originally signed with WWE back in January 2020 before joining forces with Isaiah “Swerve” Scott in NXT five months later. After the duo came together, the following week they were joined by Ashante “Thee” Adonis and B-Fab, and the Hit Row faction was born.
The quartet were called up the main roster as part of the WWE Draft in October 2021, but despite high hopes, all four members were released a months later.
