John Cena Classic Lineup: Kelani Jordan, Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno Invited
The John Cena Classic now has five names. On the November 10 episode of NXT, John Cena personally invited Noam Dar and Romeo Moreno, the winners of this year's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic, and NXT Women's Champion Kelani Jordan.
They join Cody Rhodes, who was announced on the November 2 Raw, and Zilla Fatu, who was invited on the November 4 NXT.
Everyone confirmed so far

How the invites happened
Cena walked into Dar and Moreno's locker room, congratulated them on winning the Dusty Classic, and handed each of them the same briefcase, telling them they would want to read what was inside. He later gave Jordan an identical briefcase, called it a gift for invitees only, and reminded her that the fans will vote for the winners. WWE has not said what is in the briefcases.
Jordan is the first woman confirmed for the show. Cena has already said there will be a men's and a women's winner, so more women should be added in the coming weeks.
