7 Ups And 10 Downs From Last Night's WWE Raw (Dec 28)
4. Welcome Back Cena
Lack of excused absence aside, its good to have John Cena back, polarizing figure or not. Face it, Cena is a huge draw for WWE, and his prolonged absence certainly didnt help ratings. He spent much of 2015 consistently having some of the best matches on Raw week in and week out, giving a lot of young talent some high-profile time in the ring to shine. Sure, he might be protected and could probably do a little more to really elevate talent to the next level, but Cena being back is a positive for WWE. Even if you boo him, youre secretly happy to have him back on Raw, providing you with a reason to boo while youre entertained. And it looks like he came back a little salty, referencing Notorious BIG and Jay Z, and then calling Alberto Del Rio a punk b****. Hey, if Cena is going to be fired up and leave the poop jokes and Photoshopped pictures at home, then this could be fun.
