As seen during this past Monday’s edition of RAW, “Free Agent” John Cena made his 2017 return to the red-brand. We all were aware that the “free agent” label made it clear that it was only a matter of time before Cena appeared on RAW, but what for exactly?
Justin Barrasso of Sports Illustrated is reporting that Cena’s move to RAW was made so that he could simply put over younger stars, primarily Roman Reigns.
Barrasso: “Vince McMahon wants Cena to elevate and give the rub to Roman Reigns. The prevailing factor behind Cena’s move to RAW is all about his opponents. The decision was not made solely because Cena is going to draw ratings, but rather because of who Cena is going to draw ratings with.”
