5 Notable absentees from SmackDown's Season Premiere on FOX Network

#3 John Cena

John Cena

John Cena is a 16-time World Champion, which places him at the top of the charts right alongside Ric Flair. Interestingly, Cena's first world title reign happened when he was signed with the Blue brand in 2005. The Leader Of Cenation famously defeated JBL at WrestleMania 21 to become the WWE Champion for the first time in his career.

From his first World title win to his record-breaking 16th triumph, when he defeated AJ Styles at Royal Rumble 2017, a plethora of milestones in Cena's career coincided with his presence on SmackDown Live.

WWE's Season Premiere of SmackDown on FOX Network was marked with the return of numerous big names. From The Rock to Kurt Angle, many former legends were seen on the show, be it in a segment or just sitting in the crowd. Amid all this, the WWE Universe was on the lookout for the Leader Of Cenation simply because of the history he had on the Blue brand.
