John Cena’s unexpected comeback at WrestleMania stirred up a storm as he joined forces with Cody Rhodes to confront The Bloodline, marking one of many surprise moments at the event’s climax.
While initially perceived as a one-time spectacle, Cena’s presence extended to RAW this week, where he reunited with former foes Awesome Truth.
The festivities on RAW, celebrating Damian Priest’s triumph and Ripley’s retention, were disrupted by The Miz and R-Truth, newly minted RAW Tag Team Champions.
In an unexpected turn, they squared off against Priest and Finn Balor, with Cena unexpectedly joining their ranks.
Despite Cena’s return electrifying the fans and aiding the new champions in triumphing over The Judgment Day, wrestling veteran Russo expressed reservations.
He believed that Cena risked diluting his brand by participating in matches lacking marquee appeal, as discussed on Sportskeeda Wrestling’s Legion of RAW.
“John Cena’s gotta start picking his spots bro. He is watering himself down, being a part of this? John Cena? Are you freaking kidding me bro? You’re in there with RD McDonagh now? Come on John, what are you doing bro?”
Russo’s sentiments echoed concerns about Cena’s strategic choices in his wrestling appearances.
While surprise cameos are customary post-WrestleMania, Cena’s prolonged presence on WWE television remains uncertain.
Despite the buzz surrounding his return, it wouldn’t be shocking if Cena’s appearances become less frequent in the near future.
