JOHN CENA CLASSIC NEWS AND NOTES

By Mike Johnson on 2026-11-03 12:34:00

John Cena noted on Raw last night he would be coming to WWE NXT Wednesday to invite talents to take part in the Classic and would be making appearances on more Raws, Smackdowns and The 2026 Survivor Series as well on the following dates:

11/4 - WWE NXT in Orlando.

11/13 - Smackdown in Ft. Lauderdale.

11/16 - Raw in Raleigh, NC.

11/28 - WWE Survivor Series in Houston, Texas.

Readers were wondering how WWE could pull off having top talents in Australia and then the Cena Classic.  Obviously, anyone needed for Raw in Perth would be out due to the travel logistics, but it's entirely possible talents could work the WrestlePalooza PPV on Saturday and then fly back to the States in time for the Classic.  It would be a rough few days on their body but the travel is possible.

A few readers also noted that the WWE Worlds Collide show announced for Tuesday 12/15 would be the same day of the week as WWE's NXT series on The CW Network and wondered what that meant.  We are told WWE is working out the finer details of that timing.

The WWE-Disney collaboration has gotten a lot of attention today in Hollywood outlets as well as Disney news sites.

WWE is already selling replicas of the John Cena Classic Championship belt, priced at $800.
