WWE Legend John Cena Added To This Year’s Shark Week
Joe Camporeale-USA TODAY Sports

In a significant move by Warner Bros./Discovery, WWE legend John Cena will host this year’s Shark Week,which begins on July 7. This is a huge move by the network, as last year, there was no celebrity host, and the anticipation was just not there. In years past, the highly anticipated summer event had Mike Tyson, Jason Momoa, Kevin Hart, and others. With the edition of Cena this year, the anticipation & viewership is expected to be high once again as Cena remains one of the most prominent figures in wrestling and now in Hollywood.

WBD said this in a recent press release:

John Cena will host Discovery Channel’s annual celebration and investigation of shark habits and behaviors, which will kick off on Sunday, July 7. The week-long event will include the next chapter in the hit show Belly of the Beast Pt. 2, which is a terrifying and fascinating real look at a great white shark feeding frenzy. Viewers can also sink their teeth into: Monster Hammerhead: Species X about a potential new hammerhead species, and Great White Serial Killer: Sea of Blood, which follows a great white terrorizing a local village.”



Cena was recently involved in WrestleMania XL, the largest-grossing event in the company’s rich history. With the momentum built off of that appearance and films released this year, WBD looks to capitalize off that by having Cena host Shark Week. As we move closer to Shark Week 2024, the full schedule will be released along with some clever marketing to reach those consumers looking to watch the programming in July.
