John Cena made his big return to WWE recently and he confirmed that the John Cena Classic will air live from the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex on December 14th. In recent weeks Cena has been inviting wrestlers from NXT and the main roster to be part of the John Cena Classic, but one former WWE Champion has been left out in the cold.
Recently The Miz spoke to Brandon Kravitz about the John Cena Classic and he pointed out that he was promoting the tournament despite the fact that he hasn’t even been invited to participate. Miz then went on to say that he believes he should have earned John Cena’s respect when he beat him in the main event of WrestleMania 27.
“If that’s not hustle, I don’t know what is. Loyalty. Been in WWE for 20 years. And respect. I feel like I should have gained John Cena’s respect when I beat him at WrestleMania 27 for the WWE Championship.”
“His moniker is hustle, loyalty, respect. I think I fulfilled all of those things. Yet, I have not received my invitation. Haven’t gotten my coin. I didn’t get my one last match to close the chapter of The Miz versus John Cena rivalry. I feel like people are shading me.”
So far the following names have been confirmed for the John Cena Classic:
– Cody Rhodes
– Charlotte Flair
– Jacy Jayne
– Fallon Henley
– Lainey Reid
– Noam Dar
– Romeo Moreno
– Kelani Jordan
– Zilla Fatu
