10 Ups And 6 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Nov 2nd)
1. We Cant See Cena
Last week, fans could have forgiven WWE for not providing an update on why John Cena wasnt on Raw 24 hours after losing his United States Championship. It might have been a mistake to barely acknowledge Cena, but it at least was forgivable. Not so this time. Theres really no good excuse to provide no information on where Cena is, especially when you consider that he simply lost his match. He wasnt beaten to a pulp; he wasnt injured in a post-match beatdown; he wasnt carried off by the Wyatt Family. Worse yet, no one seems to wonder or care about where he is on Raw. Considering Cena is entitled to a U.S. title rematch, youd think someone likely one of the announcers would at least ask out loud Where is John Cena? Michael Cole made sure to give everyone an update on Randy Orton, who will be out of action for four to six months, but nary a direct mention of Cena.
