John Cena Named Official Host of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas
John Cena has announced he will serve as the official host of WrestleMania 42 in Las Vegas, three weeks out from the biggest event on WWE's calendar.
Cena made the announcement on X, confirming a prominent role at the show following his retirement from in-ring competition at the end of 2025. The post was filmed on location during production of his Netflix movie "One Attempt," blending his post-retirement acting career with his wrestling legacy.
Cena recently spoke about his future with the company after hanging up his boots. He hinted at taking on a new role with WWE beyond his ambassador deal, and a WrestleMania hosting gig is exactly the kind of high-visibility assignment that fits that trajectory.
WrestleMania 42 takes place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on April 18 and 19.
