John Cena Now Advertised As A Free Agent – What Does It Mean?

John Cena is scheduled to return to WWE Smackdown Live on July 4 after being off television since his WrestleMania 33 victory. WWE alluded to the fact last night on RAW that Smackdown Live may not be the only brand he shows up on.

Creative has been tossing around the idea that John Cena would be a “free agent” for a while now, where he could, theoretically, go between RAW and Smackdown Live.

John Cena had been taking time off from the WWE for promotional appearances and to push his FOX reality series American Grit’s second season. Cena has also been filming several roles in upcoming feature films, including The Pact and Daddy’s Home 2.

My Take

John Cena going back and forth, and or staying on RAW, might be what is best for Smackdown right now. With Jinder Mahal as the current WWE Champion, John Cena (as well as AJ Styles) deserve a championship rematch. With Smackdown’s midcard of AJ Styles, Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Dolph Ziggler, Nakamura, and Baron Corbin currently ruling the show, John Cena doesn’t belong in that division of SDL.

Also, we have seen 97 versions of Orton/Cena over the past decade; we don’t want that again, do we? Now with Mahal being a new champion and honestly not many wins over established WWE Superstars, a Mahal/Cena feud will be very lopsided. RAW is the only place for Cena right now.

It was stated last night on RAW that Roman Reigns will make an announcement in regards to WWE SummerSlam. How about having him challenge John Cena at the event? I don’t recall in recent memory where the two have faced off in a major PPV event. Again, this is just conjecture at this point, but I feel this is where they are possibly going with the Reigns announcement next week on RAW.

What do you think of the Cena/Reigns possibility?
