John Cena will be hosting the ESPY awards tonight and earlier today he announced that he’s signed a new deal with Letfield Entertainment to produce unscripted TV and online projects. Letfield Entertainment is the same company that produced Cena’s show “American Grit” on FOX.
“Whether I’m in the ring for WWE or on a TV or film set, I approach all of my work the same way – with focus, authenticity and total commitment,” Cena said in a statement. “I’m eager to bring that same work ethic to the team at Leftfield, and to create new kinds of programming that can inspire and push people to be their best. I’m living proof of what you can accomplish when that happens.”
“There’s nowhere you can go with John Cena without eliciting respect, pure joy and excitement from everyone he meets. Beyond his physical strength and presence, his humor, strength of character and genuine desire to give back always comes through. That’s an inspiring place from which to create entertainment content, so we’re extremely proud and happy to be in business with John.” Leftfield Entertainment CEO David George said.
Earlier today former WWE Superstar Wade Barrett was teasing big news on Twitter. Barrett revealed that he will be starring in an upcoming film titled “Vengeance” and the film is set to begin production this summer.
BIG announcement coming later today. (and no, I'm not the new @England manager..)
