Exhibition matches between WWE & NXT talent set for next Saturday Night’s Main Event
NXT talent will take on WWE stars next month.
At the start of Monday’s Raw, John Cena revealed that the Saturday Night’s Main Event card on December 13 will feature exhibition matches between WWE and NXT talent, framing it as a way of saying thank you to the fans and giving NXT wrestlers an opportunity to shine.
“December 13 is about closing one chapter but also it is about paving the way to the road ahead. And that’s what I want for this tour,” he said.
After the announcement was made, Dominik Mysterio came out and mocked Cena, saying he was better than him and could have whooped him at any time in history. Triple H, who introduced Cena to his hometown Boston crowd, made an impromptu title match right then and there. Cena overcame the odds and pinned Mysterio with the AA to win the title for the first time.
December’s Saturday Night’s Main Event will be headlined by Cena facing the winner of a tournament that started on Monday’s Raw. Rusev became the first to advance, defeating Damian Priest.
