During the latest SmackDown episode, Cena would be approached by Cathy Kelly backstage for his thoughts on the Payback match card. Cena would then clarify that this is his first time hosting a WWE PLE, and he has no clue about it.
However, he would instead dissolve all of his bad blood and feud with his long-time foe, The Miz for some advice. Cena said, “So, first of all, a little bit of the nerves because I’ve done it all. I have been a fan, I have had rap battles, I have been in the first match, I have been in the middle match, I have been in the last match, I have never quite hosted. “
He continued, “I just found out right before I went down and I wanted to make sure everybody knows that I will be at the premium live event Payback tomorrow as the host. And, I don’t even know what that means. I have a lot of mutual respect for The Miz, and I know he’s a man of wearing many hats and I feel maybe I can engage in conversation with him. But maybe I could get some tips from him, he’s done the job quite well. “
The Miz has acted as a host for a few WWE shows over the years and has his own talk show on WWE TV called “The Miz TV.”
