John Cena finds next invitee to his namesake WWE showcase at NXT

John Cena announced Zilla Fatu as the second entrant in the John Cena Classic, a WWE showcase scheduled for next month. The announcement matters as it gives Fatu a prominent opportunity on the event and highlights his family’s long history in professional wrestling.

Fatu, who made his NXT debut earlier this year, is the son of Umaga and a great-nephew of Afa and Sika, the Wild Samoans. He joins Cody Rhodes in the field, with the event set for the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Disney World; Club WWE members will be able to vote for the winner regardless of the match result.
