Here is a description of the show…

Cena has recruited an elite group of mentors from the nation’s most exclusive military units that will push these civilians beyond their limits. These mentors, known as “The Cadre,” include Rorke Denver, Noah Galloway, Tawanda “Tee” Hanible and Nick “The Reaper” Irving. These real-life heroes represent diverse backgrounds and top branches of the U.S. Armed Forces and will impart their first-hand knowledge and experiences to enable their teams to leave no one behind. At the end of each episode, teams will have to overcome “The Circus” – a punishing, endurance-based obstacle course designed to break the weakest competitors. It is the ultimate test of strength, stamina, the human spirit and teamwork, because one team has the chance to win a $1 million dollar prize.

Cena also offered the following comments on the show…

“The U.S Military is the epitome of resolve and dedication, which is why I am so excited to be a part of ‘American Grit’. This show will not only be a challenging and fierce competition, but it will give viewers a glimpse into the perseverance and training of the men and women of the Armed Forces.”
