John Cena May Be a “Free Agent,” on Both Raw and SmackDown

Jun 12, 2017

WWE has reportedly been pitching an idea where John Cena would be a “free agent” when he returns and would be able to appear on both SmackDown and Raw, according to PWInsider.

Cena will make his return on the July 4 episode of SmackDown. He last appeared at WrestleMania on April 2 and has been shooting two movies (Daddy’s Home 2 and The Pact) and the reality show American Grit.

Cena has been a consistent major draw and ratings-getter for WWE, so having him appear on both shows doesn’t seem like a bad idea to help boost Raw’s sinking ratings.

Update:

WWE just confirmed that Cena will be a “free agent” in a promo video that aired on tonight’s Raw:
