WWE Undisputed Champion John Cena has landed himself a major gig outside of the promotion. The 17-time World Champion is in the midst of his retirement tour, and it looks like he is already branching out with new ventures away from the squared circle.

On Thursday, "HGTV" revealed Cena's involvement in their new show in a statement on X. The show will see the WWE Superstar work with Bobby Berk in a whole new role.

“Bobby Berk is coming to HGTV! “Junk or Jackpot?” (wt), a new series executive produced by John Cena (yes, that John Cena), sees the former #QueerEye star following collectors as they discover the true monetary value of their extremely unusual trinkets. From rare puppets to dolls and superhero figurines, surprises await at every turn! Stay tuned for more,” HGTV confirmed on X/Twitter.

Berk starred in the Netflix series "Queer Eye" for eight seasons, serving as the show’s interior design expert. Cena will serve as the executive producer on the show.

Later, the Undisputed WWE Champion also retweeted the story, thanking Bobby Berk and HGTV.

"What we collect is a reflection of who we are and what we love. Grateful to @HGTV and Bobby for making this project come to life!" he wrote.

The series will consist of six episodes and is scheduled to premiere later this year. It will follow collectors as they decide whether their collections are junk or jackpots.


John Cena is also filming a new Netflix movie.

John Cena recently had his "Heads of State" movie release on Prime Video, and he is keeping himself busy with more Hollywood projects.

According to a report from NJ.com, Cena is filming Netflix's movie Little Brother with Eric Andre in New Jersey. He is set to play the role of a real estate agent, while Andre is his younger brother.

With The Last Real Champion winding down his WWE career this year, he is already expanding his resume with big Hollywood projects.

About the author

Sherjeel Malik

Sherjeel Malik is a writer at Sportskeeda and covers pro wrestling. He was hooked on the product from the moment he saw The Hardy Boyz jumping off ladders during the Attitude Era. While he comes from an engineering background, Sherjeel’s love for pro wrestling and content writing led him to pursue a career in sports journalism. Before assuming his current role at Sportskeeda, Sherjeel worked at other reputable organizations for five years.

While writing articles, he ensures that he only relies on credible sources for information and covers relevant subjects that do not project an agenda against a particular person or association. WWE legend Paul Heyman once shared Sherjeel’s work on his social media handle.

Sherjeel’s earliest memory of pro wrestling is watching Stone Cold Steve Austin and The Undertaker square off for the WWE Title in the main event of a pay-per-view in 1998. His favorite wrestlers are Randy Orton and Jeff Hardy. While he admires Orton for his character work as a heel, he looks up to Jeff because of his unique wrestling style and risk-taking ability.

If he could go back to the Attitude Era, Sherjeel would like to manage Ken Shamrock and be his mouthpiece. He feels Shamrock’s promo skills prevented him from becoming a main event-level act in WWE. Hence, he would like to help the UFC Hall of Famer get over with fans.

When not writing about pro wrestling, he likes to read classics and fiction books.
