Actor and WWE star John Cena and actress and comedian Nicole Byer will host a TBS revival of Wipeout.

The network confirmed Thursday that Cena, 43, and Byer, 34, will host a new iteration of the game show.

Wipeout initially had a seven-season run on ABC from 2008 to 2014. The series features contestants competing in an oversized obstacle course for a cash prize.

TBS announced Cena and Byer’s casting in a teaser featuring footage of contestants attempting to navigate the course’s infamous “big balls.”

“Welcome @JohnCena and @nicolebyer to the #Wipeout family, coming soon to @tbsnetwork!” the post reads.

Cena shared an alternate version of the teaser that shows him getting hyped up in a gym with a red exercise ball.

“This is going to be wild! The new host of @Wipeout on @tbsnetwork is…” he wrote.
