10 Ways To Shake Up WWE This Summer

8. John Cena To Wrestle Exclusively On SmackDown

One of the most surprising turn of events in 2015 was the rise in popularity of John Cena and the acceptance from a lot of former critics that he had improved and made positive contributions to the show on a weekly basis. The US Open Challenge was arguably the best part of RAW in 2015. When Cena returns in the next few months, there'll be a wave of good vibes towards the legendary character which WWE ought to capitalize on. One interesting way to shake things up on WWE TV is have all of John Cena's matches take place on SmackDown. Cena would still appear on RAW, cutting promos, hyping matches but by keeping all of the Cenation leader's matches on Thursday nights, you're automatically making SmackDown appointment viewing and a way to give the show an edge. Similarly, in 2008, Triple H moved across to SmackDown and the show saw an increase in ratings with The Game's presence on the program. With declining merchandise sales and time off for TV and film projects, Cena seems to be used more as a background player now than the top guy in the company, so his fights taking place on SmackDown could be win win for the fans and the show.
