Cena launches fan-voted classic for WWE, NXT talent
John Cena announced the John Cena Classic during WWE Backlash in Tampa, Florida, on May 9, 2026. The event will showcase wrestlers from WWE's main brands and NXT, with fans voting to crown an overall champion. Participants who lose individual matches remain eligible for the title.
Cena described the classic as "an entire evening of the best of today competing with the best of tomorrow," where superstars give their all for fan-determined victory. He pledged personal involvement to ensure excellence. Cena emphasized that WWE's biggest star is its audience, which will decide the champion from the full card.
The announcement followed Cena's tease of "history-making" news ahead of Backlash. He recalled spotlighting NXT talent before his December 2025 loss to Gunther in Washington, D.C. That event featured Sol Ruca beating Bayley, Oba Femi facing Cody Rhodes, and Je’Von Evans and Leon Slater in a tag match against AJ Styles and Dragon Lee.
Since then, Femi defeated Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 42 and challenged for the Intercontinental title. Evans fell short in his title bid at the same event, Ruca joined Raw to challenge Becky Lynch for the Women’s Intercontinental Championship, and Slater nears a record X-Division title reign in TNA. No date has been set for the John Cena Classic amid WWE's summer schedule.
