John Cena to be a regular character in The Simpsons from Season 36 onwards? Exploring the details

John Cena recently announced his retirement from the world of wrestling but he is not retiring from the world of entertainment anytime soon. Projects seem to be popping up and the next big one for the Cenation Leader is The Simpsons. The San Diego Comic-Con this week witnessed the announcement of Cena's inclusion in the popular animated sitcom.

The former WWE Champion will be featured in the premiere episode of the 36th season titled "Bart's Birthday." It is interesting to note that he will only be a part of the first episode of the new season and will not be a regular character in the beloved show moving forward.

The Simpsons is known for its satire and its eerie deja vu instances and hence John Cena's inclusion has piqued everyone's interest. While Cena is a 16-time world champion in WWE, The Simpsons has a coveted record to its name as well, it is the longest-running animated series in American television history.

It is still unclear whether John Cena will be playing himself or a new character on the show. However, it is clear that his appearance for now is only scheduled to be a one-time affair. The makers could create a humorous parody of Cena, showcasing his wrestling persona and signature moves in the first episode of the new season.
