Update on John Cena's Status With WWE & Note On Which Brand He Will Be On


-- John Cena made his return to WWE on Sunday night at Money in the Bank and the company moved swiftly to capitalize on his presence by announcing that he'd be opening Monday Night Raw later tonight. While this would suggest that he is on the Raw brand, this isn't actually the case as fightfulselect.com reports that Cena is still considered to be a "free agent" within the context of WWE programming. As a result, he is not limited specifically to either Raw or Smackdown and more than likely will be appearing on both leading into SummerSlam. The report also notes that the movie that Cena was expected to be filming after SummerSlam won't require his presence until quite a bit later which would suggest that he is back with WWE, at least through the summer and that would be consistent with his post-MITB promo which you can see here.
