He won't be wrestling but John Cena will still be taking part in the WWE Hell in a Cell pay-per-view (PPV) on Sun., Oct. 28, 2012, at the Philips Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.
That's because WWE officially announced he will take part in the free live streaming pre-show on YouTube, Facebook and WWE.com scheduled for that night at 7:30 p.m. ET.
From the story:
Newly implicated in the "AJ scandal" that forced Ms. Lee to resign as Raw's General Manager Monday, John Cena will face questions asked directly by the WWE Universe during the live WWE Hell in a Cell Pre-Show Sunday. Fans will be able to submit questions via Twitter, Tout and Facebook, using the hashtag #CenaPreShow.
I guess a live Q&A with the top star of the company is one way to get viewers to want to buy the event. Even though it doesn't really have much of anything to do with the event, what with AJ and Cena having allegedly had an affair that led to her being ousted as the General Manager of Monday Night Raw in favor of Vickie Guerrero, a decision no one seems to like.
Still, it makes sense to get Cena out there in some capacity and putting him on TV is also the right call. The storyline just leaves me wanting.
