eWWE has not finalized a date for the rumored John Cena Classic, with two December options reportedly still under consideration, according to WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select.
A source could not confirm to WrestleVotes Radio whether the event is more likely to land the evening of December 12, following WrestlePalooza, as a same-night stateside show, or whether it would instead be held the following weekend on December 19. Fightful reported that if WWE opts for the December 19 date, it could create a notable scheduling situation elsewhere on the wrestling calendar.
Wrestling Headlines, citing backstage information, reported that December 12 may put the John Cena Classic in a head-to-head window with AEW’s Worlds End event, though no promotion has confirmed a direct same-night clash. The outlet also reported that the event will take place in December, a detail John Cena himself has previously indicated, though WWE has not officially announced a date publicly.
Ringside News, also citing WrestleVotes Radio on Fightful Select, reported that the calendar is becoming increasingly crowded as December approaches, and that while two dates remain under consideration, at least one other previously discussed option has reportedly been eliminated from contention.
Wrestling Headlines additionally reported that Cena himself reportedly wants a specific voting concept incorporated into the event, though further details of that concept were not specified in the available reporting.
As of the most recent reporting, WWE has not issued an official announcement confirming either the date or full format of the John Cena Classic. The event is expected to be tied to Cena’s ongoing retirement tour, though the sources did not provide additional confirmed details on match structure, participants, or broadcast plans. WAW will continue to follow this story as WWE moves toward a formal announcement.
