WWE recreate viral Minecraft Movie meme on RAW

One significant trend in contemporary popular culture is the release of a Minecraft film, which has gained popularity due to iconic scenes such as the Chicken Jockey, and the addition of WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix’s lineup.

On their social media platforms, WWE shared an image featuring a wrestling match between Rey Mysterio and Julius Creed during the broadcast. At a certain moment in the fight, Mysterio stood atop Creed’s shoulders.

Naturally, WWE didn’t miss this opportunity; they shared a picture of it on their social media platforms with the caption, “Chicken Jockey!” instead.

The statement refers to a well-known scene in a hypothetical Minecraft film, where Jason Momoa’s character encounters a Chicken Jockey in a wrestling arena. In the game, a Chicken Jockey is essentially a young zombie that uses a chicken as a mount during combat.

The original video spread rapidly online, and it’s now common for people to create mischievous acts in response, such as tossing popcorn, introducing live chickens, or engaging in other funny pranks, during screenings at movie theaters.

It was wise of WWE to capitalize on the meme while it was still popular. The Minecraft Movie has been a massive success at the box office, earning more than $552 million during its initial two weeks in cinemas.

The film raked in an astounding $162 million domestically, marking the highest domestic debut for any movie based on a video game. Globally, it grossed more than $300 million during its first weekend.

The very first film based on the widely-loved Minecraft video game introduces us to a storyline where a group of four misfits find themselves in the Overworld. They then join forces with Steve, a skilled craftsman (played by Jack Black), to vanquish Malgosha, the tyrant from the Nether realm.

Preparations for WWE’s annual flagship event, WrestleMania 31, are underway. This year, the spectacle will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, Nevada. The main attractions right now feature a triple threat clash between Roman Reigns, CM Punk, and Seth Rollins, as well as John Cena facing off against Cody Rhodes.

On April 14, 2025, you’ll find the pre-WrestleMania episode of WWE RAW on Netflix. This particular broadcast acts as a climactic build-up, helping establish storylines that lead up to the grand event, WrestleMania, often referred to as the Showcase of the Immortals.
