Ethan Page is not desperate to be a part of the first-ever John Cena Classic next month.
Page recently picked up the biggest win of his WWE career when he defeated Chad Gable to become the new Intercontinental Champion. On the same show, Cena announced more details of the Classic and announced Cody Rhodes would be a participant. Although Cena is looking to make the field as stacked as possible, Page is not begging for an invite.
Appearing on The Ringer’s Masked Man Show, Page elaborated on why he is not a fan of the concept:
“If I am to be invited to a tournament, even if I physically decimate my opponent, I can still lose because of the voting power of our moronic fans. I would be an idiot to enter this tournament, but if the opportunity presents itself, I will answer how I feel in the moment. Outside looking in, this is my opinion at the moment. I am not in a hurry to be awarded merchandise with another man’s name on it and a free watch. I am able to purchase my own jewellery, and I would rather wear merchandise with my own name on it.”
The John Cena Classic will take place on December 14. In what will be a historic first for WWE, two episodes of Raw will take place that day. In addition to the Classic special, an episode of Raw will air at the start of the day. The first episode will be live from Perth, Australia, and will focus on the fallout from Crown Jewel.
