Given his retirement status, WWE fans probably weren’t expecting Cena to be involved at WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas.

Cena plugged the movie he was shooting titled “One Attempt Remaining,” where he will star alongside Jennifer Garner, before going on to speak about the Road to WrestleMania.

“I’m also on the road which is ironic because there is a Road to WrestleMania going on and Hollywood is really close to Vegas,” Cena said in his social media post.
“Rumor around this town is WrestleMania needs a host. Well, I’m already on that road so I will see you at WrestleMania.”
Based on his words, Cena is set for a prominent role as the host of this year’s WrestleMania.

In the video, the WWE legend also waved his hand in front of his face and pulled off his iconic ‘You Can’t See Me’ gesture when he said that he’ll “see you at WrestleMania.”
A number of the WWE’s premier wrestlers will feature and compete at WrestleMania 42 and now, John Cena can be added to the list of stars who will appear on wrestling’s biggest stage.
