Backstage News on Why John Cena Has Been Hosting the “Today” Show, Cena Expected to Receive More Movie Offers From Hollywood

john cenaAccording to The Wrestling Observer, one of the main reasons why John Cena has been hosting the “Today” show so much is because NBCUniversal really wants to overhaul the image of pro wrestling.

NBCU has been very hands on in getting both WWE and USA Network better advertising deals, as NBCU has a lot riding on WWE. USA Network is NBCU’s most profitable network, and USA will begin airing WWE programming in 5 of its 21 weekly primetime hours next week. It is very important that NBCU sell those 5 hours to better sponsors than WWE had in the past.

In related news, The Wrestling Observer is noting that John Cena is expected to continue getting movie offers from Hollywood, especially since his recent comedy work in “Trainwreck”, “Sisters” and his cameo in “Daddy’s Home”, has all been critically praised.
