John Cena and Fox team up for ‘American Grit’

WWE Superstar John Cena is joining forces with Fox and Leftfield Pictures for a brand-new and unique 10-episode reality competition. “American Grit’ will split 16 of the country’s toughest men and women into four teams as they work together to face a variety of military-grade and survival-themed challenges.

Cena has recruited an elite group of mentors from the nation’s most exclusive military units that will push these civilians beyond their limits. These mentors, known as “The Cadre,” include Rorke Denver, Noah Galloway, Tawanda “Tee” Hanible and Nick “The Reaper” Irving. These real-life heroes represent diverse backgrounds and top branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and will impart their first-hand knowledge and experiences to enable their teams to leave no one behind.

At the end of each episode, teams will have to overcome “The Circus” – a punishing, endurance-based obstacle course designed to break the weakest competitors. It is the ultimate test of strength, stamina, the human spirit and teamwork, because one team has the chance to win a $1 million dollar prize.
