When the superstars of Monday Night Raw and Smackdown Live return to the kingdom of Saudi Arabia on Nov. 2nd for WWE Crown Jewel, they will be bringing with them a tournament of all-star talent in the form of the first ever WWE World Cup.

As previously noted, the likes of Randy Orton, Samoa Joe, Jeff Hardy and a returning Big Show have already been announced for World Cup qualifier matches this Tuesday night on Smackdown Live, but just moments ago a notification was sent out by WWE confirming one name that will NOT need to qualify for the tournament. And his name… is John Cena!

The 16-time world champion was back in action this past weekend at WWE Super Show-Down in Melbourne, Australia, coming off a three month stay in China where he was filming a movie with Jackie Chan.
