"Man, I would love to do like a buddy cop movie [with her]," Cena told host Stephen Colbert. Cena and Lipa previously starred together in the 2023 summer blockbuster Barbie as Merman Barbie and Mermaid Barbie, respectively, and then in 2024's star-studded action thriller Argylle, in which a writer of spy novels realizes the events in her new book are happening in real-life.

"Well, I'll be back to promote that project, sir," Cena said with a laugh, before Colbert explained the plot to him. "The twist is, you're the beauty, she's the Braun," the host said. When Cena joked that the audience didn't buy the concept, Colbert added, "They can't see these baby blues like I can."

The singer put him at ease when she was the first to admit out loud that she had some performance jitters.
