Backstage details on John Cena's WWE future; which brand he could be on revealed - Reports

John Cena made a surprising return to WWE at Money in the Bank pay-per-view, where he came face-to-face with Roman Reigns. Cena is reportedly set to feature in many upcoming shows in WWE.

John Cena confronted Roman Reigns at the Money in the Bank pay-per-view after the Universal Champion's match against Edge. Cena's return seemingly sets up a match between him and Reigns for SummerSlam, next month.

As per Fightful Select, John Cena has been booked to be on "several upcoming shows" following his return on Sunday night. Cena is reportedly not tied to either RAW or SmackDown and is a free agent of sorts.

This explains why the 16-time world champion is scheduled to appear on the RAW after Money in the Bank despite confronting Roman Reigns, who is a part of the SmackDown roster.

The report further states that he will not be needed for his current film project until after the SummerSlam pay-per-view.
