For wrestling fans who especially enjoy goofy game shows, they may get a kick out of John Cena's hosting of Wipeout.A lot of you could - and did - see John Cena last night. Even if John Cena never returns to in-ring action in WWE, as his last bout was against Universal Champion Roman Reigns at Summerslam 2021, that doesn't mean one will have a difficult time finding him on TV. With John Cena's reputation for having a sense of humor, commentating on a goofy game fits him naturally.Īs John Cena's credibility in the entertainment industry is thriving like never before, Wipeout is only one example of his many gigs on TV. Much like the ABC version, where the hosts commentate on the competition in a humorous light, John Cena and Nicole Byer do the same thing for the TBS version. It ties into the fact that the attraction of the show is not only that it's an athletic game show but also provides comedy at the same time. It's worth noting the obstacle courses change in each episode to something more creative, as it's a way to make the show surprising and goofy for the audience to enjoy. John Cena's Humor Makes 'Wipeout' More Fun In the final round, the game concludes with the remaining four participants competing to win $50,000 in the most difficult challenge yet. In each round, the obstacle courses become more difficult as the game processes, with participants getting eliminated each round until the last participant stands. Those with the shortest time to complete their obstacle course move on to the next round. TBS's Wipeout consists of three rounds where twenty-four participants endure a physically-grinding obstacle course.
Getting John Cena to host the rebooted version of Wipeout was an ideal scenario to attract more viewers.Ĭonsidering the TBS version of Wipeout is similar to the ABC version from 2008, the game show's rules are simple to understand. Considering that Wipeout is family-oriented, as it appeals to almost all ages, one could argue that John Cena's the perfect choice to host such a game show. From the previous ABC version, to the modern version that airs on TBS, Wipeout is one of the more notable game shows that people, to this day, remember.
