The quick version

  • Jey Uso wrote on his Instagram Story, "Put me in the Cena classic. I'll win that shi," per Ringside News.
  • WWE has not announced him. Cody Rhodes and Zilla Fatu are the only entrants named so far.
  • We did not see the Story. Instagram Stories are temporary, so it may no longer be up.

Jey Uso has asked to be added to the John Cena Classic. Ringside News and eWrestlingNews reported on Monday, Nov. 9, that he posted a message on his Instagram Story saying he wants to be part of the Dec. 14 event and that he will win it.

What he wrote

All the reports we read print the same words: "Put me in the Cena classic. I'll win that shi." Ringside News says Jey made the post after Cena explained how the event will work, and describes it as him volunteering rather than confirming a spot. eWrestlingNews says the same: he has not been officially announced.

How the Classic works

Cena told The Takedown on SI that main roster stars will face NXT wrestlers in exhibition matches on Monday, Dec. 14, near Orlando, with no bracket. Club WWE members vote for a men's and a women's champion of the night. See our Cena story. Rhodes was named first, and Fatu second. See our Fatu story.

Where Jey stands

Jey is part of The Bloodline. On Raw on Nov. 9, Roman Reigns challenged The 946 to a WarGames match at Survivor Series on Nov. 28, and the reports we read do not name the five men for the Bloodline's side. See our Raw results. An earlier unconfirmed report put Jey on the Bloodline's WarGames lineup. See our WarGames rumor story.

What is next

WWE has not said how many matches the Classic will have or who else is invited. Cena said more NXT invitations are coming, per our earlier story. We found no WWE comment on Jey's post.

OpinionWWE

Why Punk on Team USA Is the Right Fit

Opinion. This is our view, not news. CM Punk asked to join Team USA on Raw on Nov. 9 and Cody Rhodes accepted. We argue it gives Punk a path back after a bad week, and say what could go wrong.
