Wade Barrett “Rehires” John Cena for WWE TLC, Nexus Turns Back on Otunga

This week’s WWE RAW featured a number of developments for Sunday’s TLC pay-per-view, but the focal point was the storyline “rehiring” of John Cena.

Having made it abundantly clear that it was unwilling to truly adhere to the “John Cena is fired” stipulation by keeping its flagship Superstar off television, WWE officially nullified the stipulation by having Wade Barrett “rehire” John Cena on RAW. The rehiring sets up a Chairs Match between Barrett and Cena at the TLC show.

A “condition” of Cena’s rehiring also called for a match between Cena and David Otunga, who last week had informed Barrett of the ultimatum that if Barrett did not rehire Cena, Nexus would rid itself of its leader. Predictably, the match was a setup–in a mirror of last week’s incident with Wade Barrett, Nexus turned its back on Otunga, leaving him helpless against Cena.

— WWE confirmed additional matches for the TLC show. John Morrison and Sheamus will compete in a ladder match to become the number one contender for the WWE Championship, while Natalya and Beth Phoenix will wrestle LayCool in a Tables Match.

  1. whatzzz up guys???
    i heard of greatest living legend, “The John Cena”
    who’s back again thats a thing that matters a lot to me and all his fans. i, from begining was praying for him to come back and it’s done as wade re-hired and i am sure that this time, wade,s not safe
    The champ is here once again
    every one i’ll catch him once again in no time.

  2. WWE is gonna regret pushing bums like nexus!its so frustrating, its like who the hell is that..hes the miz and hes so overated…the most entertaining wrestler in wwe these days is Santino!

  3. I’M VERY GLAD THAT JOHN CENA IS BACK ON WWE.JOHN KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.HOPE THAT CENA WINS THE MATCH ON SUNDAY IN THE TLC MATCH .LET GET THE NEXUS OUT OF THE WWE. IT WOULD BE VERY NICE

  4. Absolutely pathetic. I actually expected them to do something good with this whole “Cena is fired” angle. It would’ve been interesting to see how things develop without Cena in the mix…then of course bring him back LATER and start some new stuff. But no, they couldn’t even go with that. I mean, is WWE is fucking weak right now that they can’t possibly survive without their “flagship” superstar?? Give me a break man…WWE is losing its quality completely. PATHETIC!!
