John Cena Updates on His WWE Firing Storyline, Confirms Juan Cena Debut

John Cena continued playing up his “fired” angle on Twitter this weekend, confirming that his “Mexican cousin” Juan Cena will be debuting with WWE at tonight’s house show in Salisbury, Maryland.

“CeNation. Just received western union tellagram via carrier pigieon from mexican cousin Juan,” wrote Cena. “Apparently he just got hired by wwe and would like me to watch his first match tonight in salisbury md. I got nuthin but time on my hands. Ill be there!”

With Cena fired from WWE in storyline, attention immediately turned to how WWE would script its most popular wrestler back into the mix. House show lineups were quickly changed to feature Juan Cena (rather than John) in the main-events, leading to speculation that Cena would re-emerge in storyline as his “Mexican cousin” under a mask.

Regarding Cena’s television character, the direction of his storyline remains unclear. Cena noted on his Twitter that he will be attending Monday’s RAW as an audience member (and as himself), so it is possible he will not immediately jump into the Juan Cena gimmick on broadcast.

  1. As if the entire Nexus/Cena gimmick wasn’t bad enough, they should have had Nexus disbanned.
    That would have allowed Wade to bring the same group back, in a different stable.

    To “fire” Cena will only lead to more stupidity. What are they gonna do? Have Triple H go into a greasy spoon, next year, where Cena is playing a dumb manager?

  2. This sounds like great fun. Just like what they did to hogan when he came back as mr America. Lets just hope it’s does not confuse the American audience.

  3. WWE is full of idiots if they think Raw’s rating will not drop now that Cena is gone. I will switch to TNA. good job on losing your fans.

  4. really wwe raw is really gonna lose all the fans, John Cena was the face of wwe ands now that barret fired him no one is going to watch wwe anymore all this dumb stuff happened when that idiot annonomys manager came and ruinedd it
    goodbye wwe

  5. no WWE without JOHN CENA.
    nO cena means good bye WWE.
    Good bye…….. If CENA’s back the will switch back to WWE otherwise…………………
    Love you CENA.

  6. wow… you people are some MAJOR marks. Do you realize what “Story Line” means? Cena wasn’t actually fired. Its a WORK. WWE would never fire their cash cow, so don’t worry CeNation (gag) your hero will be around for a long… LONG… (unfortunatly) LOOOOOOONNNNNNGGGGG time.

  7. it was a trembling moment when cena was fired up.could i ever see cena back on wwe raw.i want this answer from himself john cena.

  8. john cena fired get real take a look at the wrestlemania 27 poster people it’s all played out he’ll came back and that’s the bottom line cause i said so.

  9. I do not think I will watch Raw any longer I loved watching John Cena
    I think they are trying to groom John Morrison to take his place that will never happen no one can take his place
    Who gave Barrett the right to fire him bring back Mr. McMahon wait who said that but only he can correct this wrong doing

  10. WOWWWWW………..What a man to MR:JOHN CENA, perform into the SURVIVOR SERIES in Miami.” RESPECT+POWERFUL+ENTHUSIASTIC+MOMORABLE+FRIENDSHIP+REFFERY = JOHN CENA” He is most memorable and #1 wrestler in WWE HISTORY, My ambition is just one time meet to him at face to face.

  11. I am said to Mr:WADE BARRETT, you are tottally wrong in the wwe history and the nexus team leader. The nexus members will be against to you at nearly and youuuuuuuu DISBANDS from the wwe universe.

  12. i think its dumb and stupid they should let john cena back in!!!! ive been doing research and already ive foun 20,000 people that agree with me and thats just in utah imangine how many people in the usa who agree with me!!

  13. i may be a turd ball, but even i know this is all storyline. the Cena “firing” will conclude in one of three ways: 1) he pulls a Dwayne Johnson and leaves on his own terms to make movies for the rest of his life. 2) its all to suspense to build up for an epic return, possibly to help sell wrestlemania PPV. or 3) he shows up in TNA. usually when someone is “fired” its because that individual wanted a vacation or pursue something different. seems like many wrestlers use their WWE gimmicks to get into hollywood these days. WWE sucked long before the nexus and cena and GM thing. and its never going to be better. RIP wwe.

  14. its incredible how many people still tune into the crap. Raw is probably the only show on television that can upset its audience on a weekly basis and still blow everyone else out of the water in ratings. i still watch it cause i’ve been a fan since childhood and i have a very small piece of unrealistic hope that someday SOMEDAY it will be better. the storylines have gotten weird. characters/gimmicks/personalities are ridiculous. and all they do is piss off the audience. half the wrestlers cant act or cut a promo for anything. Cena did absolutely nothing exciting or entertaining (other than the obvious on barrett) his last two months. he was treated like dirt. even if it is scripted, you dont send somebody out like that. very boring/lame way for cena to be “fired”

  15. its very stupitidy that john cena has fired..

    now if there is no john cena then there is no wwe more.. i wish that cena would come back soon..
    love u cena

  16. The Cena firing was part of the gimmick. While his speech was good and believable, it should be common sense he’s not goin anywhere. As for the “Juan Cena” crap…. that’s absolutely retarded. I think Cena just got bored and wanted to play a silly role for once. Either way, its dumb. Can’t wait til Cena returns as himself….

  17. I think John Cena will b back for WrestleMania 27 in a match against Wade Barrett , & Triple H will b getting his revenge on Sheamus

  18. As Far as Miz being champ, I love it. I think its great, people think hes not at that level, but people said the same thing when randy orton won his 1st title, and its what the WWE does, creates stars. Its a good thing to throw new people in the mix of things, makes things less predictable.

  19. I Think Micheal Cole is Miz suck ass and should be fired for he did to the King so his girlfriend the Miz could win the match. Micheal is nothing but a creep and a JR. want to be he makes me want to Barf.When is the no balls GM going to show his self. Bring back John Cena he is the top money maker for you people whats wrong with you dummies.

  20. NO JOHN CENA I NOT WATCHIN WWE
    I APPEAL OTHERS NOT TO SEE NEXUS MEMBERS MATCHES AND PEOPLE WHO WATCH LIVE MATCH IN WWE WRESTLING TAKE NEWS PAPERS ON THEIR FACE WHEN NEXUS CAME FOR MATCH.

  21. I can see the WWE is tryna set up for the future by pushing these young guys but there are still lots of great vets out there and I think they are making a big mistake!Funny they condemned RVD and Jeff Hardy for smokin pot but its okay for girls to prance around half naked and talk about religion heaven and hell!steroids etc, etc……my boy cried when Jeff and RVD left now hes gonna cry for John Cena…wwe….ridiculous!

  22. I m biggest fan of cena and ortan. cena plz come back in wwe. because without You Cena i dont like monday night raw and wwe. I love U CENA.

  23. cena is the biggest of all the super stars. if he is truly fired i will not watch the wwe program again rather, i will move on to fan the TNA.

  24. Hi…CENA please come back… Withou you WWE is just World Without Entertainment. Miss You & Love you tooo. You Should be there in WWE .. GODD PEOPLE MUST RULE & NOT BAD LIKE WARRET.. PRAY FOR YOUR HEALTHY RETURN…
