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.
