Summary

John Cena said he enjoyed taking in WrestleMania 42 from a different point of view after serving as host for both nights of the event in Las Vegas.

Cena opened each show, welcomed the crowd and later returned to announce the attendance figures. Night one also placed him in the ring for Bianca Belair's pregnancy announcement, while night two ended with another offbeat WrestleMania moment when Danhausen appeared during his segment.

The weekend capped an unusual WrestleMania role for Cena, who was part of the presentation without stepping back into the ring. That followed his recent return to WWE programming, which has already kept him in the spotlight around the show, including his comments that WrestleMania 42 could become one of the most discussed in history.

What Cena's WrestleMania 42 role says about WWE

Cena's presence gave WWE a major star at the center of both nights without making him a match attraction, and that matters because it shows the company still sees value in using him as a marquee figure even outside a wrestling role.

It also let WrestleMania 42 tie together very different moments, from Belair's announcement to the lighter Danhausen cameo, with Cena acting as the familiar face guiding the audience through the weekend.
