Fatal Influence Become Newest Invitees To John Cena Classic On WWE SmackDown

Women's United States Champion Jacy Jayne and her Fatal Influence stablemates Fallon Henley and Lainey Reid were not thrilled with John Cena after the "Never Seen 17" officially invited "The Queen" Charlotte Flair to the John Cena Classic in an emotional in-ring promo to open "WWE SmackDown." Fatal Influence confronted Cena in a backstage segment, where they were also invited to participate after showing "ruthless aggression."

Jayne told Cena that he had "wasted a spot" in the Classic on Flair. Reid said he couldn't see the talent right in front of him, and Henley commented on the "hustle, loyalty, and disrespect." Jayne said that if the star actually used his brain, instead of just "showing up whenever he felt like it," he'd realize that not having Fatal Influence in the Classic is the biggest mistake Cena has made "since he tried to ruin wrestling."

Cena was entirely unphased, and said that Fatal Influence exhibited the type of "ruthless aggression" that the John Cena Classic needs. He formally invited them to the event, much to their surprise.

In addition to Flair and Fatal Influence, the other confirmed main roster stars in the Classic are CM Punk and Cody Rhodes. The confirmed "WWE NXT" stars participating include Zilla Fatu, as well as NXT Women's Champion Kelani Jordan and Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno, who Cena formally invited this week.
