John Cena has clarified the details of the John Cena Classic, admitting that if it stinks, it won’t be happening again next year.
The John Cena Classic is set to take place from Disney World on December 14th, with superstars from WWE’s main roster and NXT clashing in exhibition matches to decide who will be the winners of the men’s and women’s championships that will be awarded to the winners of votes on Club WWE.
While speaking to SI’s The Takedown in a new interview, John Cena did note that if the concept ‘stinks’, the classic would not be happening again next year.
“I gotta thank Paul Levesque, and I gotta thank Nick Khan for being like, “Yeah, man, we’ll try it.” Saturday Night’s Main Event seemed to work. We got Sol [Ruca], we got Je’Von [Evans], and we got Oba [Femi], and those three are thriving right now. So, what do we got to lose? We’ll try it, and if it stinks, like, whatever. We don’t have to do it again next year.”
Cena also spoke about inviting NXT talent to the Classic.
“I love giving NXT kids a chance to debut on Raw after years of being down there. Some of the folks we invited are three, four years in the NXT system, and they’re finally getting a shot. They were crying [Wednesday night], dude. It was great.”
Elsewhere in the same interview, Cena spoke about his gift giving habits during the holidays. You can read more about that here.
