John Cena Classic Heads to Disney World — Dates, Tickets & Accessibility

Walt Disney World is making room for a different sort of rope drop this December! WWE is heading to ESPN Wide World of Sports for two days of wrestling, with the John Cena Classic on Monday 14 December 2026, followed by an Avengers: Doomsday-themed Worlds Collide on Tuesday 15 December.

If a bit of WWE action sounds like the perfect addition to your Disney holiday, there are some important ticket dates coming up. And, as always, we’ve been looking at the practical details too, including accessibility, seating and getting there.

When do tickets go on sale?

WWE has announced the following dates for two-day combo tickets covering both events:

• Presale: Thursday 12 November, 10am Florida time (3pm UK).
• General sale: Friday 13 November, 10am Florida time (3pm UK).

Tickets will be available through Ticketmaster, with further event information available on the official WWE John Cena Classic page.

The John Cena Classic is currently listed as starting at 6pm Florida time on Monday 14 December.

Individual day tickets, prices and full ticket inclusions haven’t yet been confirmed in the announcement, so check the options carefully when sales open.

Not going to be in Orlando? The John Cena Classic will also stream live on Netflix as a special edition of Monday Night Raw.

What’s actually happening?

The first-ever John Cena Classic will bring together stars from Raw and SmackDown alongside emerging talent from NXT. Members of Club WWE will be able to vote for their favourite performance of the night, with the top Superstar receiving the event’s honour.

The following evening, WWE teams up with Marvel Studios for an Avengers: Doomsday-themed Worlds Collide, featuring talent from WWE, NXT and AAA.

And there’s more than just the wrestling.

WWE World will take over part of ESPN Wide World of Sports across both days, with exclusive merchandise, fan experiences and opportunities for photos and autographs with WWE Superstars.

Exactly what’s included with each ticket hasn’t yet been confirmed, so don’t assume photo or autograph opportunities are included with standard admission.

One important thing to remember: ESPN Wide World of Sports isn’t inside one of Disney’s theme parks. This is a separately ticketed WWE event, not something your Magic Ticket, Annual Pass or Lightning Lane will get you into.

Accessibility: what should you know before booking?

If you’re planning to attend with a wheelchair, ECV or other access requirements, there are a few things worth checking before buying your tickets.

ESPN Wide World of Sports offers a limited number of complimentary wheelchairs on a first-come, first-served basis, although availability isn’t guaranteed. Disability parking is also available on a first-come, first-served basis.

These are general facilities at the complex, rather than confirmed arrangements specifically for WWE.

Wheelchair seating and access

We haven’t yet seen event-specific information about wheelchair spaces, companion seating or the routes to different seating areas.

If you need accessible seating, we’d recommend checking the arrangements before purchasing rather than assuming a standard ticket can be changed afterwards.

It’s also worth asking about sightlines. At a wrestling event, spectators may stand during entrances and exciting moments, so the view from a wheelchair space or a seat where someone needs to remain seated can be particularly important.

Other useful questions include whether there are steps along the route to your seat, where ECVs can be stored if required and what assistance is available during entry and exit.

Ticketmaster provides information about finding accessible tickets, but the arrangements for this particular event still need confirming.

Sensory considerations

WWE shows can be lively affairs, with entrance music, cheering crowds, large video screens and theatrical lighting all part of the experience.

We haven’t yet seen confirmation of the specific effects planned for these events, including whether pyrotechnics will be used.

If sound, lighting or crowds are important considerations for your visit, it’s worth asking about the planned effects, whether you can leave and re-enter the seating area, and whether quieter spaces will be available.

We’re also interested in how queues for the WWE World experiences will operate, particularly for visitors who cannot stand for extended periods or need a less crowded environment.

And remember, Disney’s DAS system shouldn’t be assumed to apply to this event or its fan experiences.

Getting to ESPN Wide World of Sports

The complex is located at 700 S. Victory Way, Kissimmee, within Walt Disney World Resort but separate from the theme parks.

Don’t assume you’ll be able to jump on a regular Disney resort bus to get there.

Guests normally arrange their own transport unless something specific has been provided for an event. Rideshare services may be an option, including accessible transport where available, but we’d recommend checking the arrangements for your particular journey in advance.

General parking is complimentary for many events at the complex, although WWE-specific parking arrangements and any charges haven’t yet been confirmed.

If you’re using a wheelchair or ECV, we’d also recommend checking where your transport will drop you off and the route from there to the event entrance.

For venue-specific questions, the ESPN Wide World of Sports contact page is a useful starting point.

Thinking of going?

If WWE is on your December Disney wish list, 12 and 13 November are the dates to remember for ticket sales.

A couple of nights of wrestling might make a brilliant addition to a Disney holiday, especially with the John Cena Classic and an Avengers-themed Worlds Collide happening back-to-back.

We’re particularly interested in how accessible seating, queues and fan experiences will work, and we’ll update this story as more information becomes available.

In the meantime, you can find the latest announcements through WWE and Disney’s official announcement.
