This July, the ocean’s most anticipated rumble returns with Shark Week 2024, and guess who’s diving into the deep end as the host? None other than WWE’s titan of the tights, John Cena! That’s right folks, the man who can hustle, loyalty, and respect his way through anything is going fin-to-fin with the ultimate underwater predators.
“It’s true, it’s darn true!” tweeted Cena on his X account, confirming he’s swapping his wrestling ring for a ring of sharks. Given his track record with Warner Bros Discovery—starring in hits from “Fast and Furious” to “Peacemaker,” and even hosting the rebooted “Wipeout!”—it seems like there’s nothing John can’t handle. But can he handle a great white? We’ll find out!
The line-up for this year’s Shark Week is nothing short of jaw-dropping. Cena will kick off the festivities on Sunday, July 7, on The Discovery Channel, and viewers can also stream the action on Max. This year features the harrowing return to “Belly of the Beast,” where researchers get up close and personal inside a faux whale during a shark feeding frenzy. Also on the roster are “Monster Hammerhead: Species X” and “Great White Serial Killer: Sea of Blood”—titles that sound like they belong on a WrestleMania card!
Shark Week has seen some heavy-hitters in the past, with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson hosting in 2022, alongside celebs like Andy Samberg and Jason Momoa. Remember 2022’s Shark Week? When AEW threw the Jericho Appreciation Society into a shark cage? Now, that’s entertainment! This year, with Cena at the helm, expect more thrills, more chills, and a whole lot of marine exploration.
So, buckle up, put on your life jackets, and get ready for a week where John Cena doesn’t just adjust attitudes—he adjusts altitudes, diving into the abyss for some fin-tastic adventures!
