WWE star John Cena jokingly challenged his "Trainwreck" co-star LeBron James while promoting their film, which stars Amy Schumer opposite Bill Hader.

In a recent visit to People magazine, Cena cut a mock promo challenging James to a wrestling match in the ring and threatening to dribble the face of the Cleveland Cavaliers small forward "on the canvas as if it was a Spalding basketball."

"It sounds like you're parading around with two first names, (like) 'My name is Stan Mike,'" Cena says in the mock promo mocking James' name. The WWE world heavyweight champion then concludes, "I'm the one who truly knows how to handle my balls."

Recently, Cena was spotted in New York City, where he was asked by TMZ about his career as a wrestler. The WWE star said, "I dont think I'll ever be done with the WWE."

Cena said he intends to work with WWE for life so he hopes to transition either to something behind the scenes or to the announcer's table if his body ever cannot handle wrestling.

Written by Schumer and directed by Judd Apatow, "Trainwreck" premiered on July 17. Joining Schumer, Hader, Cena and James in the cast are "Brooklyn Bridge" actress Brie Larson, "Fresh Off The Boat" actor Randall Park, "Booted" actor Colin Quinn, "Sirens" actor Josh Segarra, "Inside Amy Schumer" actor Ryan Farrell, "Louie" alum Dave Attell and "The Grand Budapest Hotel" actress Tilda Swinton.

"Trainwreck" also stars Devin Fabry, Carla Oudin, Robert E. Torres, Jim Florentine, Bobby Kelly, Dan Soder, Vanessa Bayer, Jon Glaser, Ezra Miller, Evan Brinkman and Mike Birbiglia, among others.
