A championship belt covered by a black mantle and sitting on a table is seen in the ring before John Cena makes his first appearance since his retirement match and makes his way to the ring. Cena has ring announcer Alicia Taylor enter the ring to personally announce his arrival. He then proclaims that he has three major announcements tonight regarding the John Cena Classic. The first announcement is that on December 14th, "we are going to Disney World," and that there will be two Raws on Monday night. One will emanate live from Perth, Australia, while the other will be the John Cena Classic in Orlando, Florida. The second announcement is the championship on the table in the ring. It is the John Cena Classic championship belt that he would like to debut right here, right now. Cena removes the mantle to reveal the championship. Cena says that the championship stands for perseverance, loyalty, hustle and respect, then reveals the third announcement: who is in the John Cena Classic. He says that there can be only one first-ever invitee, and the invitee is none other than "The American Nightmare" Cody Rhodes, who heads to the ring. Cena says the fans understand why Cody is number one and that number one sets the pace, and that he will make more appearances to make sure that the John Cena Classic is stacked, but he wanted to make sure Cody was the first invitee in history. He says that Cody has carried the weight better than he ever could and that the John Cena Classic is everything Cody is and everything he represents, then Randy Orton suddenly shows up and heads to the ring as Cena sees himself out. Cody takes off his tie and jacket before Orton states that Crown Jewel is coming fast and that he wants to bring up what Last Man Standing means to the both of them. He states that Cody has zero experience has such a match, but for him, Last Man Standing represents how he is the last man among the greats from 25 years ago and how he was born to be a professional wrestler. Orton also mentions how he had the best doctor to fix his back when he broke it several years ago and how that doctor can fix his back again if he breaks it one more time, and talks about how he retired Dusty Rhodes and punted him in the head to become last man standing. He says that if Cody's "American dream" was to be like his father, then at Crown Jewel, he will make sure that dream comes true.
