John Cena Nails Audition for ‘Hulk Hogan v Gawker’ Miniseries on FX (Video)

Sketch on NBC’s “Maya & Marty” imagines “The People v. O.J. Simpson” channel casting its next dramatic legal battle

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready…

John Cena just ran wild on the FX casting offices for NBC’s “Maya & Marty.”

For the skit, the WWE Superstar tried out for the title role in the ficticious (for now) “Hulk Hogan v. Gawker,” a follow-up to the cable channel’s hit series, “The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.”

While Cena actually nailed the role, Martin Short‘s David Schwimmer (weakly) stood in his way.

Since “Maya & Marty” is a sketch comedy series, guess which won the gig? Yep, the same actor who was instantly tossed out the window by the far-more qualified guy.

Watch the video above.
