August 15, 2015, Washington, US (ANI): According to The Hollywood Reporter, John Cena utilized his WWE background to teach co-star Awkwafina how to punch during a scene when she was meant to break his nose in the upcoming action comedy "Jackpot."

"It was great that this was a prosthetic because I actually had a broken nose." At the movie's Tuesday premiere, Cena told The Hollywood Reporter, "I really think the setup for it was fun and when she actually did it and we did the gag, it looked great and it plays well in the movie." He also said that he instructed Awkwafina to "Swing for the fences, and she did."

Paul Feig, the director, presents the story of a recently established Grand Lottery in California, where lottery losers are able to lawfully claim their multi-billion dollar prize by assassinating the winner before sundown. Cena is the accomplice of Awkwafina, the jackpot winner on the run.
