WWE has recently confirmed that superstar John Cena and Cody Rhodes will appear on WWE NXT for their November 4 edition. The announcement comes after Cena announced his return to RAW on November 2, where he is expected to share the news about the John Cena Classic. WWE confirmed Cena’s NXT appearance during the October 27 episode of the developmental brand. As per the announcement, Cena’s appearance will take place just two days after his scheduled return to Monday Night RAW on November 2. The 17-time world champion has teased a major announcement concerning the upcoming John Cena Classic, leaving fans anticipating further details about the new tournament.
The episode moved off Tuesday because of election coverage on The CW, putting it up against AEW Dynamite’s Blood & Guts special, according to reports. Meanwhile, Rhodes will appear on NXT to present the Dusty Cup to the winners of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic. However, the company has yet to reveal the exact purpose of his appearance. The tournament final will see Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno face Hank Walker and Tank Ledger for the trophy named after Rhodes’ late father, WWE Hall of Famer Dusty Rhodes.
