According to Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer the Raw Superstars are still stuck in Europe and will not make Smackdown. Here are John Cena’s comments on the situation:
Cena: “It’s never a problem, we tour the United Kingdom about twice a year, usually in April and November, we’re actually coming back in November and looking forward to it. We’ve had a fantastic stay here in Belfast. I know selfishly, all the WWE Superstars are wishing to get home to their families, but every day we kinda congregate and look each other and say it could be a lot worse.
“We look at people in the news who are literally stranded. We’re in a fantastic city, Belfast has been just overly gracious as a host to us and we’re making do. We certainly could have it a lot worse.”
When asked about the difficulties of travel, and how much driving was involved, Cena said: “Yeah we actually made a decision about halfway through our tour, to finish the tour. We had a couple of days that actually involved 40 hours of straight travel, just to make sure that we got to certain towns in the UK and in Europe. Belfast was our last stop, and we said we’re gonna make it, no matter what. so We did two shows at the Odyssey, they were fantastic shows, great response, and we’ve been vacationing here ever since. It’s a great place to be, a lot of character here and it’s a fun unscheduled holiday for a lot of the superstars.”
Cena added: “Personally I’m hoping to get back as soon as I can. I think everybody has business to take care of, I’ve personally been travelling since the week before Wrestlemania, which would be the last week in March. I’d just like to get home and check my mailbox. I haven’t had a vacation in 8 years, so like I said, an unscheduled holiday and certainly happy to have it.”
