That’s a job. Wrestlers are in a weird place when it comes to celebrity status. They are able to become well known, but most of the time it is only as a wrestler. Occasionally you will see someone move on to something else, which can lead to a variety of openings. That is what one of the biggest stars in the history of wrestling has done and now he has a new role to build on.

The Discovery Channel, by way of 411mania.com, has announced that WWE’s John Cena will be hosting its annual Shark Week, which begins on July 7. Cena will appear on the network as it introduces several shark related specials. Cena has served as a host for various events before, including awards shows. He appeared as a surprise at WrestleMania 40 and wrestled the following night on Monday Night Raw.

He’s more famous for something else. Check out what Cena can do in WWE:

Opinion: This is the kind of thing that Cena has been doing for a good while now and there is a reason for that. Cena has figured out his place in Hollywood and non-WWE entertainment and this is exactly where he tends to shine. He’ll make things feel more interesting and probably throw in some not very funny humor at the same time. That is a tricky thing to do but Cena is going to get the chance with a pretty well known annual series.
