Never Seen Seventeen. ✌︎︎ NOT @JohnCena.

And that’s who I have picked for NXT! We got Cody Rhodes and Zilla Fatu so far. Great choices to start off I’d say. I’ll be on SmackDown next week in Florida to scout more talent for the tournament. I’ll see ya then, thank you!

I had history… good and bad.. with a lot of his family. But one that probably sticks out the most would be with his dad, Umaga. I loved him and loved working with him, so I know this kid is gonna do just fine.

Zilla Fatu. One of NXT’s newest young guns who clearly has a bright future ahead of him and he knows it. This young man is full of talent and how couldn’t he? We all know the family he comes from. The same family that helped define who I am and my career.

Being here on NXT means the absolute world to me. It’s probably the best place to scout talent for the John Cena Classic. All these up and coming, young and hungry superstars is exactly what this tournament needs. Which brings me to my next invitee…

This choice was a very easy one for me. Recently I said the weight of QB1 was something too much for Cody to handle. I was wrong. He has held this weight much better than I ever did and I am beyond proud of him. Good luck to you and everyone else in the tournament.

One in Australia and the other later that day in Disney World for the John Cena Classic Tournament where I will present this title to the winner on December 14th. And I’d like to personally invite the first person confirmed for the tournament right now…

Coming back home is always a feeling like no other. I may no longer be doing the physical work in the ring but my passion and love for this company will never falter. Which is why I’m here to announce for the first time ever there will be two Raws in one day.

It was an honor to come back to this ring once again to announce the John Cena classic. I love this business and I’m always looking to give back by presenting a new championship for this new concept. The fans will cast their votes; regardless of the match winner. Thank you all.

Right after the show. 😌

Quite the joker.

Trust me, you do NOT wanna miss it!

Hosting the show tonight was my honor and pleasure. It felt less stressful and more relaxing. No pressure on my shoulders. And of course, we had a nice little pregnancy announcement, congratulations! See yall for night two tomorrow!
