'The Champ' Returns to Raw
Written: January 28, 2008

PHILADELPHIA – John Cena’ shocking return – and even more stunning win – at the Royal Rumble Match Sunday night left our fans and other Superstars reeling. The former WWE Champion was the last person anyone had expected to see.

When Randy Orton helped put Cena out with a torn pectoral tendon in late September and effectively ended his WWE Championship reign, doctors predicted that he would be out for up to a year. Now, just four months later, he's back and has earned an opportunity at a World Championship at WrestleMania in Orlando, Fla. What does Cena have to say about his return and Rumble win? He will kick off Raw tonight, when it emanates from the City of Brotherly Love, Philadelphia.

Cena's victory Sunday night defied the expectations of doctors and all doubters. He looked into the eyes of his final opponents in the Rumble, Triple H and Batista, and said, "Come and get some." Cena sent a clear and convincing message: “The Champ” is back and he’s heading to WrestleMania. Videos: Cena's Road to Recovery

Sunday marked the first time Cena has won the 30-man Royal Rumble. But his victory wasn’t about a milestone; it was about the beginning of his road to redemption. Cena couldn’t help grinning as he soaked the cheers of his adoring fans.

As the New York faithful chanted his name, Cena's smile widened. But none of the World Champions in WWE were smiling, especially Orton, the man who put him out. Cena now has earned the right to face any World Champion in WWE in the main event at WrestleMania XXIV. Does he want to take back the title he never lost in the ring and get the ultimate revenge on Orton on the grandest stage of them all? Maybe we'll find out tonight on Raw.

Cena is getting considerably uglier as he grows older.

To save me looking it up, off the top of your head, how many Rumbles has Cena been in? Can't be that many.

Look out, Chavo! Cena is coming for YOU!!!

I'll be joining in the fun tonight.

Let me guess, Cena comes out first and talks for a while. Girls and little kids scream and swoon over every little thing he does then someone comes out and they argue.

You just spoiled it for me...might as well turn off now :roll:

KoOS looks mighty fine IN HD...IN HD.

3.

Thanks DT

Show starts with cena promo

Show ends with cena/jeff winning in a tag match im guessing. BUT WE GET TO SEE CENA IN HD TONIGHT!!ONLY20 MINS TO GO!!!! ZOMG!!!!!! 111

Cena in HD in HD god dammit god dammit

Though i dont as i dont get HD, but you know..,.

Well. First time I'm gonna catch the first hour since watching Terminator. Probably gonna be a doozy too.

I just couldnt contain my excitement at the thought of CENA BEING IN HD!!!!

Unfortunately not, KYR :(

Watching heat atm, strangely haas isnt in his mask.

Oh now he is.

Yeah I don't get USA HD so no Cena in HD

Seriously the only thing that can save him for fans is a heel turn

9-920: John Cena talks, champ is here, blah blah blah, I be getting title shot at Mania, blah blah blah

925-932: Mickie James jobs again.

932-934: Triple H is here and he's really mad.

936-1105: Some other stuff happen.

Is that I'm in for tonight? Oh dear.

Hang on. Wasn't that the run sheet for Septemb...oh, I get it.

So how do you think the Philly fans will respond to Cena?

Evening, all.

Damn. I missed Gladiators today. :'(

50/50

£££££

It's good to see that HHH has a full beard.

HHH almost started to cry when Cena came out.

:D theres no point in ordering ppvs, they show them the next night on raw anyway now.

I already hear boos lol.

BOOS!

Oh, the boos.

Oh look cena.

CROWD BOOS

LOVE THIS LOL

DAMN IT.

WHY'S THE S.O.T.U. ON TONIGHT!?

Has had it for a while now. Apparently the Village People have a full roster.

I cant see cena? More like i just dont want to.

LOL Kids are screaming. Girls are screaming.

Fans are booing

Much more negative reaction overall than last night.

I hope Cena turns

Suckin up to the crowd there BORING

throw shit at him

LOL THEY ARE MESSING WITH THE AUDIO

WAIT! He's gonna answer the question!

cena sucks cena sucks chants

ahahahha Cena Sucks chant

LOL Cena sucks.


And that's music to his ears?

How is he still trying to be a face?

Triple H's expression was brilliant.

That sowed the seeds for the Cena-HHH match at WrestleMania.

Wrong to bring him back to 2 smark crowds in a row.

LOL THEY ARE MESSING WITH THE AUDIO

Yeah its obvious

cause it wasn't a surprise

Yeah you're sueprcena we get it mane

I hate Cena

I hope Santino randomly interrupts Cena.

Another inane, obnoxious Cena promo. Has WWE learned nothing during his absence?

It's never impossible with Cena.

Cena's character sucks dick

YES!!!! TONIGHT. DO IT

Cena: Im BACK!

Crowd: BOOOOOOO

if a bottle just flew into the ring and nailed Cena in the head it would be incredible

Yeah, please. Get it over with.

Good ol audio tampering

Rather than taking the time out to address the Cena/face problems, they simply revert straight back to form with the same old shit.

IF ORTON COMES OUT HES GONNA GET A HUGE FACE POP

OMG CENA WANTS IT TONIGHT

AND ORTON WILL SAY IT WONT HAPPEN

Oh god cena gonna win the title on his first night :(

no one needs to see this

Orton's about to get a damn medal.

Cena booking 101, must get cheap pops

Haven't they ALREADY announced a tag match involving Orton tonight? Now, they're going to announce HHH/Cena as partners against Snitsky/Umaga right?

Cena will win the WWE title on Raw
the ECW title on ECW
and the World Title on Smackdown

QUESTION - If Cena isn't the champ, why does the belt still spin?

Notice who is chanting You suck.


The 9 year olds in the crowd

I hate cena....did I mention that already?

I've waited three years for this moment.

I really do dislike Cena on the mic as well as in the ring.

Scar? What scar? I don't see a scar.

Blah blah blah blah

More healthy? Well he didn't get smarter in his absence

Broom > Cena

I hope they have the title match, HHH comes out, kills Cena with Sledgy, turns heel and we get HHH vs Orton at WM

Orton is smart, why give it away for free

OH SHIT!

Um, didnt those ppl at the crowd pay to see it?

Didn't the people open their wallets to get into the arena?

Oh god it's Cena/HHH at Mania

what is No Way ___

Spoiler: Cena wins

LOL

I can't listen to the guy in section 321 tell me I suck


Guy in front row: You Suck
