John Cena opened this week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown to continue doing everything in his power to raise awareness for the upcoming John Cena Classic next month in Orlando. The field is starting to fill out quite a bit now, but there are still quite a few spots available.
He wasted little time revealing the next entrant here — none other than Charlotte Flair.
“The Queen” got emotional talking to Cena, telling him she has dreamed forever of working some kind of story that would put her in the
ring with him, working with him in some way. She then told a story of how he inspired her during a period of depression in her life, and gave him credit for inspiring her to reinvent herself.
She’s going to win the whole damn thing, she said.
Cena, who said he’s going over his time and doesn’t care, talked about winning a record breaking 17 WWE titles just so he could shake the hand of whoever won 18. He always thought that would be Charlotte.
What a segment to open the show, just to announce a participant, huh?
The list of confirmed entrants to this point:
- Cody Rhodes
- Charlotte Flair
- Zilla Fatu
- Kelani Jordan
- Noam Dar
