Speaking to Sports Illustrated, John Cena said that the John Cena Classic will not be a tournament, but it will feature exhibition matches between main roster stars vs NXT stars.
Cena said that it will be similar to the Saturday Night’s Main Event when he had his last match, noting that he loves the December 14 date since it’s one year and one day from his last match.
“And as soon as I retired, on the way home, I was thinking about how I can [stay] involved,” he said.
The Classic will involve both men and women and by the end of the night, there will be two John Cena Classic champions crowned based on votes from WWE Club members.
“Hopefully, if we have the technological acumen to do this, as soon as the last match is over, it’s kinda like American Idol… voting’s open now to Club WWE members,” he continued. “And when we come back from commercial break, we’re gonna award the women’s champion of the night, and we’re gonna award the men’s champion of the night.”
The show will be held at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida and airs as the second Raw of the night following a live broadcast from Perth, Australia.
