WWE is reportedly considering multi-person matches for the 2026 John Cena Classic as plans continue to take shape for the Disney World event.

According to WrestleVotes Radio, the idea has been discussed as a way to give more talent a place on the show. The event will not follow a traditional tournament bracket, opening the door to a different match format.

Cena is also believed to have had direct input into the line-up, with WWE presenting potential participants to him throughout the planning process.

During the November 10 episode of NXT, Cena personally invited Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno to take part. NXT Women’s Champion Kelani Jordan also received an invitation, joining previously announced participants Cody Rhodes and Zilla Fatu.

Meanwhile, WWE is reportedly coordinating separate travel arrangements for certain talent heading to Australia. Some wrestlers and production staff are expected to attend WrestlePalooza before returning to the United States for the John Cena Classic.

The multi-person match idea remains a reported discussion rather than a confirmed announcement, but it could create opportunities for more names to join the event.
