NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan has been officially added to the growing roster for the upcoming John Cena Classic.
During the November 10 episode of WWE NXT, John Cena personally informed Jordan that she had been selected to participate in the event.
The announcement took place during a backstage segment later in the broadcast, where Cena met directly with Jordan to extend the invitation. With this confirmation, Jordan becomes the latest NXT Superstar to join the cross-brand lineup.
Championship Momentum and Growing Participant Lineup
Jordan’s selection follows her successful NXT Women’s Championship defense against Paige during the special November 4 episode of NXT. The reigning champion now receives an opportunity to compete outside the standard NXT women’s division.
Jordan’s invitation was the final addition made during the November 10 broadcast. Earlier in the show, Cena met with Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno to invite both competitors into the field, presenting them with briefcases containing gifts and a book explaining the structure of the event.
Following the latest round of invitations, the confirmed participant lineup for the John Cena Classic stands at five competitors:
- Cody Rhodes
- Zilla Fatu
- Noam Dar
- Romeo Moreno
- Kelani Jordan
