WWE superstar John Cena is helping to take out the trash, serving as a pitchman for Hefty in several funny new advertisements which also feature Rob Schneider.

WWE star John Cena showed up in a few new commercials to pitch the “Ultra Strong” Hefty trash bags. The advertisements show Cena as he picks up a box of the trash bags and hears the longtime chant of “Hefty! Hefty! Hefty!” which appeared in the company’s ads back in the 1980s.

Also appearing in the new ad is former “Saturday Night Live” funny man and movie actor Rob Schneider. When he picks up a box, he doesn’t receive the same sort of iconic chant that John Cena does. It also appears that an elderly woman in a motorized cart “can’t see” Schneider.

The women certainly see John Cena in one of the other spots, appropriately called “Pec Flex.” It shows the WWE superstar in the store checkout line with his pectoral muscles responding to the “Hefty!” chant to the awe of women in his vicinity.

Hefty is among the latest of Cena’s endorsement deals. Other companies the multi-time WWE Champion has worked with during his career include Gillette and Subway. In addition, Cena has appeared in several movies including “Trainwreck” and “Daddy’s Home,” along with hosting a new reality series called “American Grit.” Let’s not forget his recent ESPY Awards hosting gig, in addition to the fact he works the grueling WWE schedule each week. All of that makes him one busy, but wealthy dude.

As for his work with Hefty, there are three total spots with Cena. A final spot is called “Becoming Cena” and shows a man and his wife shopping at the store. He grabs a box of the trash bags and actually transforms into John Cena. Another man gets the “Wimpy” treatment, which of course brings Rob Schneider back into the mix. That ad alone which gives men all over the planet a brief bit of hope that they too could turn into the popular celebrity and pro wrestler could sell a lot of boxes of the trash bags!
