More on WWE vs. NXT matches set for Saturday Night’s Main Event
More on John Cena’s announcement from Monday’s Raw.
Prior to his Intercontinental title win on Raw, Cena announced that on the December 13 edition of Saturday Night’s Main Event, WWE main roster stars will face off against NXT stars in a series of exhibition matches. According to Bryan Alvarez, that was an idea proposed by Cena himself.
“NXT wrestlers getting matches on SNME was a John Cena call, he loved his time at the WWE Performance Center,” Alvarez writes.
Last month, Cena not only visited the Performance Center once, but twice. After his second visit, he took time to thank those training at the PC for sharing their perspective on the business.
“Being coachable can open our minds to learn. Thank you to all the superstars at the WWE PC for sharing with me different perspectives of our business,” he wrote. “I spent the week digesting their feedback & was grateful to be able to return today for another chance to learn & share wisdom.”
Cena’s last match will headline the December 13 show in Washington, D.C.. He will face a winner of a tournament that kicked off on Monday’s Raw, with Rusev and Sheamus advancing out of the first round.
