Four other Superstars were announced for the John Cena Classic last night, with Cena appearing on Smackdown.

The 17-time world champion kicked off the broadcast and then personally invited Charlotte Flair to be next competitor to be part of his Classic.

The two engaged in an emotional segment, where Flair said that after WrestleMania 41, Cena asked her a “no bullshit question” about her meltdown in Chicago in a segment with Tiffany Stratton. Cena told her to stop trying to be perfect and own it, thanking him for helping her reinvent herself where fans are now cheering for her and giving her high-fives.

Cena told her fans think she had it easy due to her father, but nothing was easy for Charlotte, and she made it look easy because she is who she is. Cena also told Flair that he always wanted to win #17 so he could be the first one to shake the hand of the one who gets to #18…saying that he always thought it would be her.

Later in the evening, it was also announced that all three members of Fatal Influence – Women’s United States champion Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley, and Lainey Reid, also got the invitation for December 14.
