As announced yesterday on Monday Night Raw in front of a sold-out Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the first-ever edition of The John Cena Classic will feature WWE’s biggest names across Raw and SmackDown against the brightest future Superstars from NXT, on Monday, December 14. The event will culminate by announcing the top Superstar of the night as decided by the WWE Universe. Members of Club WWE, WWE’s recently launched exclusive fan membership program, will vote in real time for their favorite Superstar performance and award the night’s top honor. Fans can participate in the voting by registering for Club WWE at WWE.com/ClubWWE. The John Cena Classic will stream live on Netflix on December 14 as a special edition of Monday Night Raw.
Ahead of the highly anticipated U.S. theatrical release of Avengers: Doomsday on December 18, WWE will produce an Avengers: Doomsday edition of Worlds Collide, featuring the biggest Superstars from WWE, NXT and AAA, on Tuesday, December 15.
Surrounding the events, WWE and Fanatics will stage WWE World, a two-day immersive fan event, located at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex, giving fans access to exclusive merchandise and photo and autograph opportunities with WWE Superstars. Additionally, WWE will produce and sell Avengers: Doomsday co-branded products, including title belts, at WWE World, WWEShop.com and across select Disney retail stores.
