John Cena wasn’t playing Cupid in the season finale of Peacemaker when he took a shot at Arrow.
Thursday’s season finale of the HBO series had a line that crossed over the super hero line. The Peacemaker said Green Arrow “goes to Brony conventions dressed as the back half of Twilight Sparkle with a four-inch-wide butthole drilled in the costume.”
For the uninitiated, a Brony is a male fan of the television series My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. Princess Twilight Sparkle is a horse. A butthole is…well, you know.
The off-color jab was relayed to actor Stephen Amell, who plays the Green Arrow in the now-canceled DC series. Amell now stars as a wrestler on the Starz series Heels.
Amell claimed he hadn’t seen the Peacemaker show in question. However, returning the favor, he dissed actor Cena’s WWE past in a tweet.
“Haven’t seen it. Too busy showing Cena what professional wrestling should actually look like on TV,” Amell wrote.

Peacemaker has found its home in the UK, with an air date set for later this month.The forthcoming show focuses on Cena’s character which he first played in James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad last year.Alongside Cena, the show stars Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Robert Patrick, Jennifer Holland, Freddie Stroma and Chukwudi Iwuji.Watch the new trailer for Peacemaker here:An official description for the show reads: “Peacemaker will explore the origins of the character that John Cena first portrayed in James Gunn’s 2021 film, The Suicide Squad – a compellingly vainglorious man who believes in peace at any cost, no matter how many people he has to kill to get it.”In a four-star review of The Suicide Squad, NME wrote: “Gunn succeeds in juggling characters from the original Suicide Squad movie – Rick Flag (Joel Kinnaman) becomes an unexpected voice of reason here – with new recruits including Peacemaker (John Cena), a jacked All-American patriot with a deeply questionable moral code.“Appealingly played by Cena, the latter’s story arc should whet appetites for HBO Max’s upcoming Peacemaker TV series.” Peacemaker will be available to watch on Sky Max and NOW from March 22.
Sky has taken UK rights to James Gunn’s John Cena-starring Peacemaker and the show will drop later this month.
