Even after 35 years, one of the most popular TV shows, “The Simpsons,” is still going strong and returned for its 36th season on Sunday. Despite running for so long and featuring nearly everyone in Hollywood as guest stars during that time, the show has lacked wrestlers. Interestingly, the 16-time WWE Champion John Cena made a guest appearance on the premiere of season 36.

With Comic Book Guy and his partner having a hard time as the latter is about to give birth to a baby on the former’s store floor, John Cena appears through the door, playing himself and declares that all is well because he is the only licensed midwife to win 16 WWE Championships. Then Cena steps in to help deliver the animated baby.
Before leaving the store, Cena makes sounds like a baby and gives the newborn his signature catchphrase, “You can’t see me.” The “Cenation Leader” also pokes the baby’s head at the end of the episode to inspire Bart, quite literally, when he feels the pressure to blow out his candles and officially turns 11.
The Hitman was the first wrestler to appear on the show
John Cena’s appearance on The Simpsons not only makes him the second wrestler to appear in an episode of the show, but he’s also the first to receive this honor in nearly 30 years. The last time a wrestler appeared in The Simpsons was Bret Hart. He was a guest star in a very famous episode of The Simpsons, during which he came to Springfield to buy Mr. Burns’ mansion.

With many wrestlers turning to acting, there’s an ongoing debate amongst wrestling fans about who is the best wrestler-turned-actor in Hollywood right now. Cena’s WWE rivals The Rock and Batista are also currently two of the most popular Hollywood stars currently, but they have never been on The Simpsons, so it is something only Cena has achieved since the past 30 years.
