John Cena is back on Friday Night SmackDown on November 13, and the John Cena Classic is expected to be what he talks about. The show is at Amerant Bank Arena in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, where Cena will try to pull more WWE Superstars into the tournament. New WWE Women's Champion Tiffany Stratton is also scheduled to appear after her Money in the Bank cash-in at Crown Jewel. Fallout from the premium live event is part of the episode too, with Sami Zayn, Chelsea Green and Cody Rhodes among the names to watch. The broadcast starts at 8 PM ET.

John Cena Returns to SmackDown as Tiffany Stratton Arrives With the Women's Championship

Cena has already stopped by Monday Night Raw and NXT to invite Superstars to his upcoming John Cena Classic. His invitees so far are Cody Rhodes, Noam Dar, Romeo Moreno, Kelani Jordan and Zilla Fatu, the son of Umaga. Friday's appearance gives him one more chance to bring SmackDown talent into the tournament.

Some names who could get an invitation are United States Champion Trick Williams, Johnny Gargano and Kit Wilson. On the women's side, Tatum Paxley, Giulia and Kiana James are possible candidates. But WWE hasn't confirmed any other participants for Friday's show.

Tiffany Stratton also has some explaining to do after the Crown Jewel cash-in. She won the 2026 Women's Crown Jewel Title, and then used her Money in the Bank contract to take the WWE Women's Championship from Chelsea Green. Now she's set to show up on SmackDown with the title.

The expected Crown Jewel fallout also includes:

• Sami Zayn: The Undisputed WWE Champion could address his victory over Roman Reigns.
• Chelsea Green: Green is expected to speak about losing the Women's Championship.
• Cody Rhodes: Rhodes could discuss Crown Jewel and Team USA's involvement in Survivor Series: WarGames.

So these are expected segments and not officially confirmed matches, since WWE hasn't announced any bouts for the November 13 episode.
