John Cena has announced that he will be the host of
WrestleMania 42.
In a video posted on his social media from Hollywood, John
Cena said that his “road” has looked different since
retiring, but now he’s officially on the road to
WrestleMania.
“I’m shooting a movie for Netflix called One Attempt
Remaining that you can see when it comes out. I’m also on
the road, which is ironic because there’s a road to
WrestleMania going on, and Hollywood is really close to
Vegas,” he said. “Rumor around this town is WrestleMania
needs a host. Well, I’m already on that road, so I will see
you at WrestleMania!”
Cena has not appeared on WWE television since his retirement
match in December against Gunther. He had vowed that once he
retired, he will ditch his jorts and colorful t-shirts and
will do WWE work in a suit and tie.
WWE did record business last year with Cena headlining
events and is hoping to replicate that for WrestleMania 42,
which is still short of last year’s ticket sales. Both
nights are hovering at 40,000 tickets each.
