One night removed and several questions left unanswered, but RAW rolls on post-Extreme Rules and again without most of its top-tier stars. Here are 5 things we learned this week following Monday's RAW broadcast:
5. John Cena: Missing In Action
Following a brutal match and beating at the hands of Ryback and their non- finish at Extreme Rules, John Cena was nowhere to be found on RAW this week. This was a smart play by WWE Creative by having Cena sell his injuries from the PPV, but probably more costly in the long run. However, WWE does themselves no real favors in this regard. Cena is still the company man, and easily their most recognizable star. Keeping him off their flagship program certainly "sells" the continuing storyline with Ryback, but many casual fans switch the channel when they realize their hero is nowhere to be found on the show.
