6 New Directions For WWE After SummerSlam 2017

5. John Cena Moving To Raw

If the end goal is to get to a big John Cena party as he snatches the World Title for a record 17th time, then moving Cena to Raw shows WWE aren't in a big hurry. It's hard to see Cena being pushed right into the Universal Title picture as soon as he arrives on Monday nights, but what else is there for him to do?

That's a bit blurry right now, because there's also no need to rush an untouched Cena vs. Roman Reigns feud either. Perhaps it's Samoa Joe who will be sacrificed to the golden boy, or maybe John will be entrusted with turning Big Cass into a main event star before the end of the year.

WWE have bags of possibilities waiting for Cena on Raw. Hopefully he doesn't encroach on one Universal Title series everybody wants to see though, and it'd be disastrous if Cena was written to squash the rise of one Braun Strowman on the brand.

Whatever does happen, Cena is Raw-bound after dispatching SmackDown's Baron Corbin at SummerSlam.
