An all-new version of assault course-based gameshow Wipeout, which originally aired on ABC from 2008 to 2014, is coming to TBS, and none other than John Cena has been announced as one of the hosts. Nicole Byer will be the show’s co-host, with Camille Kostek joining them in the field.
“I couldn’t be more excited for what’s in store for this radically absurd show that has its own fair share of legendary faceplants.” Cena told Deadline. “The power of Wipeout is its ability to gather people of all backgrounds for fast paced, physical FUN! I look forward to seeing fan responses both new and existing. This’ll be a hosting experience unlike anything I’ve ever done! I can’t wait to get started in rooting for our contestants!”
Cena will also serve as one of the Executive Producers on the show.
The former WWE Champion confirmed the news with the following Twitter post, which also reveals that the Leader of the C-Nation has decided to grow a goatee for the first time in.. well, ever! We can't help but be reminded of Spock's evil counterpart in Star Trek's Mirror Universe. If Cena ever does decided to turn heel, he has the perfect look!
