“Ultimate Beastmaster” on Netflix has announced that ex-WWE stars CM Punk and Stu Bennett (aka Wade Barrett) will be among the new hosts joining the show for season three.
Deadline first reported that a new season will air in 2018 and Punk tweeted afterward saying, “The Beast is back and I’ll be your host for Team USA along with the my co-host the awesome @TikiBarber! Don’t miss the most intense obstacle course in the world!!!!!”
For those who haven’t seen Beastmaster, the show is edited to be specific to each region participating — hence the local hosts who anchor their country’s version — however, we’re told there’s lots of interaction between all of them … so you’ll see some banter between the former Nexus leaders.
Bennett posted an announcement on social media as well with the caption, “*BREAKING NEWS* I’ll be hosting Netflix’s #UltimateBeastmaster S3 alongside @kate_abdo. #TeamUK.”
Check out his video below.
