1. It wrapped up on the show. So there's essentially no drama going forth from it -- no tensions or sparks really created. There's no real "all or nothing" attached to what would have been John Cena's last WWE Title opportunity, and his last chance to deliver on his word and have the belt in time for his match against The Rock.

2. The story of John Cena fighting his way back onto RAW was done just a couple of months back, when Nexus leader Wade Barrett fired Cena, leading to Cena attacking Nexus members under Barrett gave Cena his job back -- leading to Cena getting a big victory over Barrett at the December PPV, "TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs."

3. SmackDown! is merely an obstacle. Nothing we should want to watch or care about -- but merely a prison restricting Cena, and stopping him from achieving grander goals than he can on SmackDown!.

The WWE could have had Cena drafted, and at a later date he could have found his way back onto RAW. The Rock could have mocked him next week for failing to take the WWE Title from The Miz, and now he's on "The Rock's show" and being reminded that he will never be The Rock. Cena could have been traded back for some other talent, so at least SmackDown! gets something out of the whole "CENA'S COMING!!!" situation.

It's just terrible writing. Not everything in the WWE, and not everything involving Cena; just this particular bait-and-switch.
This is exactly my point. It didn't happen how YOU wanted it to, so you complain. You'd be ok with him going back in a couple weeks but not tonight?

Not everything has to advance a storyline. It's not the end of the world to have minor side stories that don't play into the bigger picture. It didn't hurt anything. It didn't disrupt anything. It was a harmless 1 episode side story. Get over it.
