Former WWE writer Vince Russo recently shared his thoughts on John Cena's upcoming return to SmackDown this Friday.
On the December 16 episode of the blue brand, Roman Reigns forced Adam Pearce to schedule a tag team match featuring him and Sami Zayn, taking on Kevin Owens and a partner of his choosing. Later in the evening, Cena appeared on the Titantron to announce that he would return on the December 30 episode of the show to partner with KO.
On this week's Legion of RAW, Russo said that WWE was wasting John Cena's return on a tag team match on free TV. He felt that the company should have saved his return for a big event rather than use it to boost ratings for the last SmackDown of the year.
"I still can't believe bro, unless ticket sales are in the cr**per, I can't believe they're wasting John Cena in this tag team spot," Russo said. "To bring Cena in this tag team, that's what I'm saying, bro. Save that for something that's much, much bigger bro." [46:27 -47:03]
