In what could be a spoiler for WWE’s plans to re-introduce “fired” John Cena to the RAW brand, the company has begun changing his billing on upcoming live events to ‘Juan Cena.’
The character, being identified as John Cena’s Mexican cousin, will presumably be John Cena appearing under a mask.
An example billing is on the official website of Madison Square Garden, which hosts a RAW event on December 6. The main event description reads, “Fatal Four Way Steel Cage Main Event for the WWE Championship: Juan Cena (John Cena’s Mexican Cousin) vs. Randy Orton vs. The Miz vs. Wade Barrett.”
— No clear timetable on when that character will debut on television has been revealed. Based on a Twitter post from Cena, it appears he will be appearing under his normal gimmick, at least in part, on RAW this week. Cena, speaking in storyline on both his interference in the RAW main-event and his plans for next week, wrote, “I told Mr barrett that if he keeps taking short cuts it will come back to haunt him. Just got tix for raw in philly.”
