3. Brawl Ties In To Cena Return

It was already announced that John Cena was returning to Raw this week, but you had to wonder how he’d get inserted into a one-night feud.

The answer was simple: Have the Seth Rollins/Bobby Lashley brawl restart, sprinkle in a little Dean Ambrose, and voila! Cena saved Rollins, Drew McIntyre (more on him later) attacked Cena, and Finn Balor evened the odds.

Instant six-man tag match.

The match itself was a bit too long for a thrown-together opening match, but it was pretty decent overall, and it provided Rollins an opportunity to showcase his talents. Cena also got some ringtime, which also provided a nice treat for fans.
