Reiterating that he will not going to perform physically again in WWE after his retirement match, Cena dropped the news that the tournament will be held in December.

“Now this year in December, I’m really excited about announcing the John Cena Classic. We’re gonna do an event based off all the memory, all the nostalgia, and the IP and the core values of the character, which is me,” Cena said. “Hustle, loyalty, respect, perseverance, virtue, overcoming the odds, and giving the vote to the people.”

Cena said that the audience is going to decide the champion that night and it will be a unique live event.

“I don’t even know if it’s gonna work. I’m still taking bold chances in the WWE space, and I’m proud to be helping the John Cena Classic,” he concluded.
