WWE Internal Plans John Cena Classic At Walt Disney World
The inaugural tournament will unveil the John Cena Classic Championship and let Club WWE members vote for the winner.
On Monday, Cena announced the inaugural John Cena Classic will occur December 14 at Walt Disney World, telling fans, "Mark your calendars. December 14th, we are going to Disney World!"
WWE will present two episodes of Monday Night Raw on December 14, with one airing live from Perth, Australia, followed by a second from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Hollywood Studios.
Unveiling the John Cena Classic Championship, Cena added he is putting his "heart and soul" into the tournament and confirmed Cody Rhodes as the "first ever invitee."
Fans can vote for the tournament's champion on Club WWE, while the event builds on existing arrangements where WWE's premium live events air on Disney-owned ESPN in the US.
Mark Shapiro, head of TKO, recently teased future collaborations, expressing excitement about 2027 as the company works with the Walt Disney Company to bring audiences together.
