Cena has been a big proponent of NXT, wanting to showcase them when given a chance. They will get their opportunity to impress Cena and the WWE universe in the upcoming John Cena Classic, which pits main roster superstars against NXT superstars.

The bouts will essentially be exhibition bouts, and fans will vote on who they like the most. Fans can find Cena’s comments on the Classic by clicking here.
