WWE Enlists John Cena for Key Producer Position in New Project

John Cena was the face of WWE from 2006 to 2016 and truly became a name that transcended all barriers as far as pro wrestling is concerned. Cena is one of the most recognizable faces on the planet right now, so it comes as no surprise that he will be taking on the role of a producer in an upcoming WWE project.

The Leader of Cenation eventually branched out to pursue a career in Hollywood back in 2017 and has seen a monumental level of success till now. Cena’s roles in ‘The Suicide Squad’ and ‘Peacemaker’ truly set him apart from the rest.

Roku announced a new eight-part docuseries called WWE Recruits. The upcoming series will be executively produced by John Cena, which is certainly an interesting direction.

The series will follow potential WWE athletes as they try out for a spot on the roster. It was noted that John Cena will also appear on the show and that it was partly filmed last week in Los Angeles during NIL tryouts. Roku also sent out a press release on the matter.
