Bengals' Ja'Marr Chase Reveals How The Rock, WWE Inspired His New NFL Celebration

Cincinnati Bengals star receiver Ja'Marr Chase turned some heads with his new touchdown celebration, and he explained the origin of the gesture.

While speaking to Chad Ochocino on Chasing No. 1 (19:15 mark), Chase revealed that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson inspired his new celebration.

"No, that's not Spider-Man. It's the People's Elbow, bruh. The Rock from wrestling, he did it differently, though, we just added the [point]," Chase explained.

Chase and fellow star wideout Tee Higgins both adopted the celebration this season.

The Bengals have had a lot to celebrate over their 2-0 start to the season, particularly thanks to their defensive improvements. Cincinnati leads the league with eight sacks and is tied for first with three turnovers.

The Bengals will look for their third straight win when they face the AFC North rival Pittsburgh Steelers (1-1) in Week 3 on Sunday.
