Tonight’s special WWE RAW Reunion episode kicked off with John Cena opening the show.
It had originally been reported by Brad Shepard that Cena would be on tonight’s RAW, but the report was denied by Dave Meltzer only for him to change his mind and confirm the report a few days later. However, there is a very specific reason that Cena kicked off tonight’s RAW Reunion.
Cena cut an in-ring promo where he talked about RAW being his home, and he mentioned that he lives in the Tampa area, pointing out that Land of Lakes, Florida is where he resides. The Usos then came out, and provoked a rap battle with “The Dr. of Thuganomics”.
According to a report from Brad Shepard, the reason John Cena opened tonight’s RAW Reunion was because Vince McMahon wanted him to kick off the show. McMahon felt that Cena was the person who could hype up the crowd. Brad wrote:
“According to a source in #WWE, Vince McMahon personally asked John Cena to start the show off as he believed he was the best choice to hype the crowd. #RAWReunion”
