John Cena invites Charlotte Flair to the John Cena Classic

Charlotte Flair joined the competitor lineup for the John Cena Classic after an invitation from John Cena on the November 13 episode of WWE SmackDown in Sunrise, Florida, wrestlingattitude.com reported.

The special event is scheduled for December 14 at the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex in Orlando, Florida. During the opening broadcast, Cena announced that a historic amount of NXT Superstars will make their Raw debuts facing established main roster stars, while Club WWE members take part in fan voting to determine both the men’s and women’s champions.

Following her invitation, Flair delivered an emotional address detailing Cena’s influence on her career. She recalled a difficult period following WrestleMania 41 when she questioned whether she wanted to continue wrestling, wrestlingattitude.com reported.

According to Flair, Cena came up to her behind the scenes during that phase and encouraged her to let go of perfectionism and instead show her true self.

She expressed gratitude for that chat, noting it helped restore her self-assurance and fix her bond with the WWE universe, while thanking Cena for seeing her as her own person rather than merely Ric Flair’s daughter before stating her goal to capture the John Cena Classic Championship.

Flair delivered an emotional address regarding the backstage exchange where Cena guided her past her post-WrestleMania doubts.

In his reply, Cena lauded Flair for helping rebuild the women’s division in WWE and successfully managing the heavy burden of her family’s legacy in professional wrestling. He also shared a major personal revelation regarding his historic 17th world championship reign.

As reported by Wrestling Attitude, Cena clarified that his prior remarks about wanting a 17th championship win so he could shake the hand of whoever eventually claims an 18th title were specifically directed at Charlotte Flair.

With Flair’s confirmation, the announced roster for the December 14 event includes Cody Rhodes, Zilla Fatu, Noam Dar, Romeo Moreno, Kelani Jordan, and Charlotte Flair.
