WWE will hold a Marvel Studios’ Avengers: Doomsday-themed edition of Worlds Collide on Tuesday, December 15, at ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex near Orlando, Florida, the night after the John Cena Classic.
WWE and The Walt Disney Company announced the two-day takeover of the complex on Tuesday as an expansion of their partnership. The John Cena Classic is on Monday, December 14, and Worlds Collide follows on December 15.
Avengers: Doomsday-themed Worlds Collide
Worlds Collide will feature stars from WWE, NXT and AAA. It takes place three days before Avengers: Doomsday opens in U.S. theaters on December 18.
WWE will also make and sell Avengers: Doomsday co-branded products, including title belts. They will be sold at the event, on WWEShop.com and in select Disney retail stores.
The last Worlds Collide was held on September 26 at Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois. WWE has not said where the December 15 show will stream.
John Cena Classic on December 14
John Cena announced the John Cena Classic on Monday’s Raw at a sold-out Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, and named Cody Rhodes the first entrant.
The event will put stars from Raw and SmackDown against NXT talent. Club WWE members will vote in real time for their favorite performance, and the top Superstar of the night will be announced at the end of the show. Fans can register for Club WWE at WWE.com/ClubWWE.
The John Cena Classic will stream live on Netflix as a special edition of Monday Night Raw.
WWE World and tickets
WWE and Fanatics will also run WWE World, a two-day fan event at the complex with exclusive merchandise and photo and autograph opportunities with WWE Superstars.
- General presale: Thursday, November 12 at 10 a.m. ET
- General on-sale: Friday, November 13 at 10 a.m. ET via Ticketmaster
Tickets are sold as two-day combo tickets. Fans can register for event information at WWE.com/CenaClassic. WWE said more event and fan experience details will be announced in the coming weeks.
