WWE and Disney Plan an Avengers-Themed Wrestling Weekend in Florida
WWE and The Walt Disney Company are teaming up on an Avengers-themed collaboration, with WWE taking over the ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex at Walt Disney World Resort for two days in December.
The first event is the John Cena Classic, scheduled for December 14. It is the inaugural edition of the event. John Cena announced it on WWE Raw, and Cody Rhodes is the first wrestler invited to take part.
Fans who are members of Club WWE, the company's paid fan club, will vote in real time for their favourite superstar of the night. That wrestler will be awarded the John Cena Classic Championship. The event will stream live on Netflix as a special edition of Monday Night Raw, WWE's weekly show.
The next night, December 15, brings Worlds Collide, a premium live event with an Avengers: Doomsday theme. It will feature WWE stars and talent from AAA, the Mexican lucha libre promotion that WWE acquired in 2025. Lucha libre is a style of wrestling with masked performers and acrobatic moves, and it has a long history in Mexico.
The theme ties to the film. Avengers: Doomsday is scheduled for release on December 18, three days after Worlds Collide. Marvel's superhero films and WWE's wrestlers share a fan base that often overlaps, and the two companies are bringing both into one weekend.
Fans who want to be on site can attend WWE World on both days. Run with Fanatics, the sports merchandise company, it offers exclusive merchandise and photo and autograph opportunities with WWE Superstars. WWE will also produce and sell Avengers: Doomsday co-branded products, including title belts. Those items will be sold at WWE World, at WWEShop.com and at select Disney retail stores.
Tickets come in stages. A general presale for two-day combo tickets opens on November 12 at 10 a.m. Eastern Time. The combo tickets go on general sale on November 13 at the same time, through Ticketmaster.
For anyone planning a trip, the dates are the key detail. The John Cena Classic falls on the Sunday, Worlds Collide on the Monday, and the film arrives the Friday after. Those who want both wrestling nights will need a combo ticket, and the presale window opens first.
