New Details About John Cena’s Free Agent Status Revealed

John Cena will be returning to WWE SmackDown Live on Tuesday, July 4th, but when he returns he will no longer be exclusive to the blue brand. The 16 time WWE World Champion arrived on Tuesday nights last summer during the WWE draft, but we could be seeing him appear on Raw in the near future.

WWE recently announced that John Cena will be a free agent when he returns, and now everyone is trying to figure out exactly what that means. There’s a lot of speculation surrounding Cena’s free agent status, and although there are still a lot of questions that need to be answered, WWE has revealed some interesting information.

As noted, John Cena joined SmackDown Live last summer as part of the draft, but he was absent during the recent Superstar Shake-up which took place after WrestleMania 33.

Apparently Cena somehow became a free agent during the Superstar Shake-up as WWE.com posted the following:

“Cena’s status as a Free Agent has the WWE Universe wondering exactly what that means for his future. WWE.com has learned that The Cenation Leader became a Free Agent during the Superstar Shake-up after WrestleMania, but not much else is known about what that status entails. Cena has been Team Blue through and through since the WWE Brand Extension, having been the third selection (seventh overall) of SmackDown LIVE Commissioner Shane McMahon and General Manager Daniel Bryan in the WWE Draft.”

WWE also teased that he could potentially choose to simply stay on SmackDown Live, or say goodbye to SmackDown and join Raw full time.

As of right now John Cena is the only star who isn’t exclusive to the red or blue brand, so it should be interesting to see what WWE does with his free agent status when he returns.
