5 Ups And 8 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (July 4th)

1. Some Help For Cena

It was a matter of time before someone helped John Cena out with his struggles against the Club. And the fact that it wasn’t the Usos (who have faced Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson a bunch) made this even better.

Putting Enzo Amore & Big Cass into the Cena/Club feud and booking a six-man tag match for Battleground is a great way to continue this feud and bring new talent into a top-level rivalry. Enzo and Cass might not be part of this feud for very long, but they’re popular with fans and will get a chance to shine hopefully.

The only thing that could deflate this “up” would be if Enzo and Cass ultimately end up serving as cannon fodder to take the fall for Cena, who eventually rises above it all to win again. That would help no one in the long run, so you have to hope WWE has something else in store.
