On WWE Monday Night Raw 10.28.2013, World Heavyweight Champion John Cena made his triumphant return to free TV. After cutting a pretty good promo about coming back and proving everyone wrong (including JBL), Cena talked about how meaningful the World Heavyweight Championship is to him. He also promised that he’s not back for one match or one week or one month, but simply he’s back for good.
Then, Cena said that having the Big Gold Belt means that he will also be back on WWE SmackDown too (I believe he may have even called himself the Friday Night Delight).
After that, Cena was interrupted by Damien Sandow. Sandow said Cena couldn’t fool him and that he knows that John was way less than 100 percent. This led to a teased cash-in, which was merely a setup for a blind side attack on Cena.
Once Sandow thought he did enough damage to Cena’s bad elbow, Damien decided to cash in his Money In The Bank contract for the World Heavyweight Championship.
And Sandow lost, to a man with one arm.
And Super Cena was back in full force, even if his elbow wasn’t.
And now, John Cena — the real face of the WWE no matter that Triple H says about Randy Orton on television — will be back on Raw, and SmackDown, and in Europe, and everywhere else they need him.
If you thought John Cena was over-saturated before — and if you thought Super Cena was already tired act — it looks like the WWE is just getting started on giving us EVEN MORE of the same when it comes to their biggest moneymaker.
It’s not that I’m surprised by any of this, it’s just, well, I would have preferred just a modicum of evolution for once when it came to the John Cena character.
Why not let Alberto Del Rio beat him at Hell In A Cell? After all, the bad elbow was the perfect out for a tap out to the Cross Arm Breaker.
If not Del Rio, then why not let Damien Sandow cash in and beat John Cena on Raw the next night? The tough match with Del Rio at Hell In A Cell combined with the pre-cash-in attack by Sandow was more than enough to reasonably give Sandow the victory.
Instead of anything more interesting, we now have Super Cena taking over the world again, as Alberto Del Rio and Damien Sandow lament what might have been.
That’s all from me — CB.
