John Cena Invites Multi-Time WWE World Champion To John Cena Classic On SmackDown

John Cena is continuing to show up live to invite participants to be in the event named after him. He kicked off "SmackDown" by hyping up the event and bringing out the next invitee: Charlotte Flair.

Flair said she has spent ten years trying to figure out how to get in the ring with Cena. She didn't know how it would happen, she wanted to manifest it. The conversation has always been her dad and Cena and questions of if she'd break their record. She doesn't know if she will, but "I want to be part of that magic". It means a lot that Cena wants to share his legacy with her.

Two years ago, she was backstage and she was depressed and felt lost. Cena asked what happened in Chicago. She didn't have an answer and said she didn't know, just that it wasn't her night. Cena told her to stop being perfect, be who you are. Ever since then, people have high-fiving her and cheering her. She found her passion and herself again. Cena believed in her when she didn't and not because she was Ric's daughter or because he was doing someone a favor. Flair became emotional and said her next chapter starts in the John Cena Classic and she's gonna win because she's the greatest champion of all time.

Cena said a lot of people thought Flair had it easy because of her name. She rebuilt the women's division. "You never had it easy, you just made it look easy. One day, I will shake the hand of the person who wins 18. I was always talking about you." They embraced after.

Flair joins "NXT" Women's Champion Kelani Jordan as the only other woman currently in the John Cena Classic. Cody Rhodes, Zilla Fatu, Romeo Moreno, and Noam Dar have also been invited.
