John Cena has recruited three names for the John Cena Classic during WWE NXT on November 10, 2026, including a first female wrestler!
Indeed, Cena selected NXT’s champion Kelani Jordan, as well as the winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic 2026 Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno.
He justified his choice for Kelani Jordan by saying it was the moment for her to show the world what she is capable of for this special night on December 14, 2026. On the side of Noam Dar, he explained that he admires Dar’s passion and his veteran role of taking under his wing a young talent like Moreno.
Moreno’s selection is tied to the fact that he has wrestled across numerous independent scenes, and this is the moment for him to shine against WWE veterans. All three accepted the offer without any hesitation.
