John Cena, WWE champion ... and bandwagon jumper?

These pictures were taken at the same game, yet it appears that Mister Cena would like to have it both ways.

Come on, Johnny boy, pick a side and stick with it ... you're from Massachusetts, for pity's sake, the choice should be obvious!

EDIT: I failed to notice that Mark Murphy had already picked up on this story (bostonherald.com):
You can't buy loyalty. Not even for a front-row ticket.

Professional wrestler - and pride of West Newbury - John Cena was given a seat right across from the Magic bench. He sat next to C's owners Wyc Grousbeck and Steve Pagliuca, who got the Celtics fan a jersey from the dressing room.

When Magic people noticed, they got him a custom Orlando jersey and, according to the Celtic types, said in effect that if wanted to stay in the seat, he had to put it on.

The locals may have been joking, but Cena didn't take any chances. Instead, at halftime, he got a piece of paper and a felt-tip pen and carefully made a sign, taking time to color in each letter:

"Leave the Magic at Disney!" he wrote.

Cena then proudly held the sign up for TV cameras.
