When WWE first announced that John Cena will return to WWE programming as a ‘Free Agent’ a lot of people wondered why WWE gave this status to the Former World Champion instead of assigning him to one brand.
Earlier reports suggested that WWE made this move so he can appear on both Raw and SmackDown when needed and help both the brands in their TV ratings.
However, after he returned to Raw after almost year this past Monday night, a new report has emerged which claims that TV ratings were not the only reason why The Leader Of Cenation was moved to Raw.
If reports from Sports Illustrated are to be believed, WWE moved John to the Red Branded Show because of the potential money matches he can have there with stars like Samoa Joe, Braun Strowman and most importantly – Roman Reigns.
According to the site, Vince McMahon wants the former 16 Time World Champion to elevate and give a rub to the Big Dog and it’s the primary reason why he was moved from SmackDown Live.
This is an interesting statement and it reaffirms a previous report of a Cena-Reigns dream match happening sometime before WrestleMania 34 next year.
If Vince wants John to elevate the career of Roman Reigns then it’s possible that they will use the Leader Of Cenation as an obstacle in Reigns’ path to the Universal Championship.
Since Roman is expected to challenge Brock Lesnar at WrestleMania 34, the match between him and Cena will most likely take place sometime before the show of shows.
