WWE will host The John Cena Classic, a special anniversary tournament named in honor of John Cena, on December 14 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports complex at Disney World. The event will feature exhibition matches between WWE and NXT superstars, culminating in the crowning of a champion who will receive a new title belt, similar to Cena's celebrated WWE Spinner championship belt.

The tournament structure has undergone significant modifications from the initial plan. Originally, the idea was for fans to directly vote for the winner via the Club WWE app, regardless of in-ring results. However, after analyst Dave Meltzer highlighted the strategic flaws of this method, WWE abandoned direct fan voting, recently confirming with John Cena that the format has shifted to a traditional tournament, without yet specifying the exact details of the new qualification rules.
