John Cena Comments On WrestleMania 42 Experience: ‘Thank You For the Hausen’

John Cena experienced WrestleMania 42 in a manner unfamiliar to him — as a host — and he took to social media to comment on the matter after the show. Cena served as the host for this year’s two-night event, the first WrestleMania since he retired from the ring at Saturday Night’s Main Event in December.

As host, he opened the show and announced both nights’ attendances. The latter duties had him in the ring not only for Bianca Belair’s pregnancy reveal on night one, but the Danhausen segment on night two. The latter, which also featured Miz and Kit Wilson (plus an army of Minihausens), led to Cena giving his blessing for Danhausen to hit a Five Knuckle Shuffle.

Cena posted to Twitter after night two and wrote:

“An incredible weekend! Truly enjoyed WM thru a different perspective. What a turnout of 106,072! To ALL those who saw it live …. Thank you for the Hausen”

He had also reflected on night one earlier in the day when he wrote:

“Thank you 50,817 strong for my making my night one WrestleMania unforgettable. I was overwhelmed with all the unexpected moments. Your enthusiasm to kick off the show, your warmth for Bianca’s announcement and as always your voice and presence.”

Cena was also in attendance at the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony and was shown in the crowd a few times during the proceedings.

Thank you 50,817 strong for my making my night one WrestleMania unforgettable. I was overwhelmed with all the unexpected moments. Your enthusiasm to kick off the show, your warmth for Bianca’s announcement and as always your voice and presence.

Can’t wait to C U for night 2!
