Well look who is back on Monday Night Raw.
After losing out on his road to WrestleMania on Raw, John Cena won his way into the SmackDown title scene last Tuesday night. This week, Cena showed up to Raw to talk about SmackDown’s pay-per-view, Fastlane, this Sunday.
Looking for a place to speak without being interrupted by the likes of Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Baron Corbin, Dolph Ziggler, and even AJ Styles, Cena came to the red brand to call his shot. According to Cena, he will win his record breaking 17th WWE title at Fastlane and then continue on his road to WrestleMania 34.

Cena even encouraged Styles to use his rematch clause to make the WWE championship a triple threat with Shinsuke Nakamura also joining in on the fun. Before he could continue with his promo and make his next salient point, Goldust walked down to the ring.
Yes, Goldust.
No, seriously, Goldust actually showed up to confront Cena on Raw in 2018.

Following Goldust punching Cena square in the jaw, Raw General Manager Kurt Angle put them into a match. Guess who won?
