Rusev Reacts To John Cena Joining Team SmackDown At Survivor Series, Cena Comments

This week’s episode of SmackDown Live featured a match between Randy Orton and Rusev, and if Rusev had managed to win he would have joined Team SmackDown at Survivor Series, unfortunately for Rusev he didn’t win, as he was put down by an RKO.

Rusev’s failure to claim a victory on Tuesday night left one spot open on Team SmackDown, and Shane McMahon announced earlier today that John Cena will be returning to the blue brand to join the team.

Rusev posted his reaction to John Cena joining the team on Twitter saying sarcastically that Cena earned the spot fair and square.

As far as Cena’s status for the pay-per-view is concerned, he seems thrilled to be joining the blue brand as he said that he’s ready to answer the call whenever he’s needed.
