WWE jumps on viral Chicken Jockey meme using Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano — fans lose it

The Chicken Jockey meme took over the Internet shortly after the release of A Minecraft Movie. Over time, netizens and meme communities curated innovative versions of the meme, but it was incomplete until it received the WWE version.

So, here it is. Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano recently recreated the viral Chicken Jockey meme and left the Internet in stitches.

To understand the concept, let's dive into the origin of the meme. In A Minecraft Movie, Jack Black and Jason Mamoa encounter a zombie riding a chicken in a wrestling ring. Jack Black addressed the duo as 'Chicken Jockey' and it soon became a meme template.

The official X handle of WWE posted a shot of Rey Mysterio and El Grande Americano with the caption 'Chicken Jockey' and fans couldn't stop laughing.

Chicken fight, is it? Netizens explored a wide array of possibilities, although the meme reference implied something different.

@ZealousTheRebel remarked about the post. The unseriousness of the account had fans thinking that it was someone else posting on behalf of WWE.

"who gave @PatMcAfeeShow the WWE account this is def something i can see him posting"

Finally, someone got the actual reference of the post. @UndisputedCapo revealed the origin of the 'Chicken Jockey' meme.

"it's like from that minecraft movie hahahahahahahaha"

It turns out that not everyone is fond of the 'Chicken Jockey' trend. @WrestlingAEW24 criticized the meme and possibly, WWE's post as well.

"WWE, not u too? Chicken Jockey is dumb, period"

@RealPiccks claimed that WWE's participation in the trend was the best post from the official handle.

"This is the best post you’ve ever made"

@GymLeaderDev appreciated the admin's idea of posting the Chicken Jockey meme. It looks like the world has been awaiting the unexpected crossover between Minecraft and WWE! Thanks to the live adaption and meme culture.

"W reference from the admin icl"

@JayBands24, however, was not impressed by the post. Some even felt that it was unnecessary; not everything needs to be turned into a viral meme.

"admin just typing anything man"

Monday Night Raw is usually chaotic but this one caught the Internet off-guard. @JordanDaBoss24 remarked about the match.

"WE'VE GOT ABSOLUTE CHAOS AT MONDAY NIGHT RAW"

Jack Black contributed significantly to making it meme-worthy. Fans don't know what was funnier- the setting or Jack Black's exclamation!

The 'Chicken Jockey' reference at WWE harnessed mixed reactions from fans. While some traced the humor factor, others resented the idea. Nonetheless, the meme continues to circulate across social media platforms.
