John Cena’s “John Cena Classic” is scheduled for December 14 at Walt Disney World, with the event set to be hosted at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex. WWE announces the show during a recent RAW, and Cena says fans can influence match outcomes. The winner will receive a new championship belt inspired by Cena’s spinner, according to multiple reports.
Coverage also highlights the event’s guest and format elements. NDTV and Fox News identify Cody Rhodes as the first invitee. NDTV adds that the special show is expected to air from Walt Disney World, while WWE has another RAW running the same day in Perth. Times of India notes WWE initially considered allowing fan voting but later retracted the idea, citing unspecified problems.
Across outlets, the core facts—date, location at Disney World, a new championship, Cena’s RAW announcement, and Rhodes as the first invitee—are consistent. Differences mainly concern operational details such as the fan-voting aspect and WWE’s final approach to how fan influence will work.
