Draxum has not appeared in any other iterations of the Ninja Turtles' universe and he has been positioned as a villain in the new series. Draxum has been said to consider himself the defender and protector of mutants.
The Kids' Choice Awards which Cena is hosting will air on March 24th and among the nominees for awards is his former Wrestlemania opponent The Rock. Cena is also working on other projects with Nickelodeon as a producer including a live-action game show.
