John Cena potentially had his last match in WWE recently at Crown Jewel, where the WWE Legend put over Solo Sikoa in a singles match. Days after the match, The Cenation Leader made his return to Television, hosting an extreme sports show titled ‘Wipeout’.

The 16-time World Champion John Cena has made a name for himself in the Hollywood industry, starring in several blockbuster movies and TV shows such as Fast X, Peacemaker, Vacation Friends and Bumblebee to name a few.

The Cenation Leader will serve as a co-host to the show, alongside Nicole Byer for the latest season of the extreme sport competition series, with Camille Kostek also returning as a field reporter. John and Nicole will be back to provide some hilarious commentary for every epic fall, as the participants of the show face off in a series of challenging courses in order to show off their skills, balance and athleticism.

The ‘Wipeout’ series first premiered in 2008 on ABC. However, it was cancelled later due to low ratings. The show was brought back in 2021, with it’s first episode being aired in April of the same year. The current season features updated courses of challenges, as the competitors try to make it through water, slime and mud for a chance at winning a grand prize of $25,000 at the end of each episode.

Cena addresses retirement talks

John Cena has made quite a number of appearances in WWE this year. He appeared on WWE TV for 2 straight months, which started on 1 September and seemingly came to an end at the recent Crown Jewel event this past week.

Cena was booked to face Solo Sikoa in a singles match at Crown Jewel, and the latter ended up scoring a victory over the WWE Legend. Following the match, Cena appeared on the 200th episode of After The Bell with Corey Graves, where he talked about his potential retirement from in-ring competition in WWE.

“There’s a lot of different perspectives, right? Anyone else sitting here would probably craft a scenario where, oh, in my mind, the perfect thing is to do this at this event with this individual”, said John Cena.

He further stated, “I do what they tell me to do because I believe in full faith that they are doing what’s best for business. So whenever it comes to an end, and it will, whatever is deemed the best thing for the WWE is exactly what will be the perfect moment.”

John Cena has had an enormous amount of success in both WWE and Hollywood. He is certain to be a future Hall of Famer, and is highly regarded by fans as the “Greatest of All Time”, although he disagrees. We hope to see further appearances from The Cenation Leader in the coming years.
