Cena has never attended the ESPYS or hosted an awards show, but he has the following to say about the honor:

"They asked, and of course I said yes," Cena said. "It goes without saying it's a tremendous honor. The prestige of the show grows every year. It's unbelievable. I obviously accepted, but it doesn't go without its share of nerves. I just want to do the show justice. I'm going to do my due diligence and hopefully we can have a great show."

The 24th annual ESPYS, will air live on ABC on July 13 (8 p.m. ET) from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
