One of the biggest phenomenons in pop culture recently has been A Minecraft Movie, thanks in large part to the memes like the Chicken Jockey scene, and WWE Monday Night RAW on Netflix got into the run.
During the broadcast, WWE posted an image on their social media pages of Rey Mysterio vs. Julius Creed. At one point in the match, Mysterio was on Creed’s shoulders.
Of course, WWE could not let the moment go unnoticed, as they posted an image of it on social media with the caption, “CHICKEN JOCKEY!”
It is a reference to the iconic scene from A Minecraft Movie where Jason Momoa’s character faces a Chicken Jockey in a wrestling ring. In the game, a Chicken Jockey is a young zombie who rides a chicken in combat.
The scene went viral, and it has become a trend to react to it in theaters by throwing popcorn, bringing real chickens into the auditorium, and other shenanigans.
