Worlds are colliding.
John Cena is hosting the ESPYS.
John Cena takes a deep breath and laughs when he is asked what he plans to do as the host of the ESPYS in July.
“I’m still trying to conceptualize it,” he said. “This all just happened a couple days ago. I really don’t know yet.”
Cena has some time to figure it out before he hosts the 24th annual ESPYS, which will air live on ABC on July 13 (8 p.m. ET) from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
The 15-time WWE World Heavyweight Champion will be the first professional wrestler to host the annual sports awards show and just the third athlete, joining LeBron James, who co-hosted in 2007 with Jimmy Kimmel, and Lance Armstrong in 2006.
