It\u2019s just really forward in my mind right now. I think it\u2019s the right thing to do. If it doesn\u2019t happen at the ESPYs, it\u2019s going to happen somewhere,&#8221; Cena closed the interview.<\/p>\n<p>Cena self-deprecated throughout the interview that he&#8217;s not sure why ESPN picked him to host the ESPYs. But, he really wants to wrestle the bear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"embed p\" data-reactid=\".1l3n2jlkpog.1:1.1:$article-row-0.0.0.1.0.1.$embed-6\">\n<p>&#8220;It\u2019s most likely not going to happen due to legal restraints. Card subject to change. But I will replace it with a spectacular stunt that you can only see live. That will be the reason for you and the rest of the world to tune in to the ESPYs. I will either wrestle a bear, or host that show. One of the two things is guaranteed to happen,&#8221; Cena told interviewer Mick Rouse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don\u2019t know why ESPN asked me to host the ESPYs. I think that they realize we, over at WWE, can engage a live audience. We certainly have an enormous following. Maybe it did take those small steps outside of our normal arena to make them say, &#8216;We\u2019ll give him a shot.&#8217; Or, one could speculate, that maybe they just don\u2019t care about the show anymore, they want to go down in a blaze of glory, and they found the right guy. Either way, it\u2019s an awesome opportunity.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"pwtor-end-article-groups pwtor-entity-placement\" id=\"pwtor-3856608784\"><div id=\"pwtor-2121086813\"><div align=\"center\" data-freestar-ad=\"__336x280\" id=\"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\">\r\n  <script data-cfasync=\"false\" type=\"text\/javascript\">\r\n    freestar.config.enabled_slots.push({ placementName: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\", slotId: \"pwtorchcom_medrec_3\" });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\nTHANK YOU FOR VISITING<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"mh-excerpt\"><p>Before retiring (or perhaps after retiring), John Cena wants to wrestle a bear.
