Invitations for the John Cena Classic continued on SmackDown on November 13, 2026.
Indeed, John Cena had confirmed his presence for the blue brand show, signaling that he would continue recruiting for the competition. He selected Charlotte Flair and the entire Fatal Influence faction.
A touching testimony from Charlotte Flair, who was in tears as she explained that John Cena has always been there to believe in her. Two years ago, John Cena shared with her the advice to stop striving to be perfect and let her true self emerge. An advice that paid off and earned the fans’ approval:
“You did it because you believe in me” 🙌

On the Fatal Influence side, it’s Jacy Jayne, Lainey Reid and Fallon Henley who clinch three spots. Cena was confronted by the trio, telling him that it would be the biggest mistake of his career if he didn’t select the faction. Cena replied that it’s exactly the “Ruthless Aggression” he had been seeking, so they are invited:
