John Cena, Tiffany Stratton appearances part of updated WWE SmackDown lineup

John Cena is scheduled to appear on this Friday's WWE SmackDown as the buildup continues toward the first-ever John Cena Classic. He will invite additional wrestlers to participate in the event during the show. Cena is also set to appear on Monday's Raw from Raleigh, North Carolina, and at this month's Survivor Series in Houston, Texas.

The upcoming SmackDown remains limited in announced matches at this time. The Friday episode forms part of the path to the special edition of Raw taking place on December 14 at Disney's ESPN Wide World of Sports Complex.

Tiffany Stratton will appear on SmackDown to celebrate after becoming the new WWE Women's Champion. She cashed in her Money in the Bank briefcase at Crown Jewel following the title match between Chelsea Green and Liv Morgan.

Stratton secured the championship by cashing in on Green immediately after Green's victory over Morgan. This marks Morgan's second consecutive year of winning a Money in the Bank briefcase and then cashing it in.
