Key points
  • John Cena’s namesake pro wrestling showcase will feature some of the best WWE has to offer and give the fans a voice in who takes home a championship belt next month.
  • Ethan Page, who won the Intercontinental Championship earlier this month over Chad Gable, said he wants no part in it – at least for right now.
  • I am the intercontinental champion, and I am not going to rush to get in line for a free watch and a jacket with another man's name on it, so I can enter a tournament that I will be voted to lose, no matter what.

And I hope they manipulate the fan base enough to vote for them, so that they can win and be happy." The John Cena Classic will take place at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World on Dec.

Additional details
  • It will be a part of a special double episode of "Monday Night Raw" – the first of which is taking place in Australia following Wrestlepalooza: Perth.
  • They will all decide that I am not worthy of their vote and then, at the end of this event, some pathetic crybaby who went on a political tour on social media for seven weeks straight, gets voted into victory and my talents are completely ignored.
  • Cena expanded his field over the course of this week.
  • Page did clarify, saying he’s happy those in the competition could get an accolade they could be proud of and if he was invited, maybe he would reconsider.
  • On "Friday Night SmackDown," he invited Charlotte Flair, Jacy Jayne, Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid to the competition.
