John Cena started things off on the show by playing the “True Confessions” game with Jimmy Fallon and Kate McKinnon where he told a story about being hit by a car while he was riding his bike.
Further down the show, Fallon and Cena spoke about Cena’s proposal to Nikki Bella at WrestleMania 33. Fallon admitted to being shocked by Cena’s proposal while watching WrestleMania.

Author’s take
John Cena’s appearances on mainstream shows are always a lot of fun to watch. It’s good to see Cena’s commitment to his reality show and his appearances, by extension, also promote professional wrestling as a whole.
With all that being said, I am personally very excited for the second season for American Grit and I’m sure Cena is going to do a great job at it!
