#2 Updates on the status of John Cena

Cena could lead Team SmackDown

John Cena was on the losing side of the No Mercy main event. From the looks of it, he is set to take another hiatus from the company. Cena has been taking a lighter schedule for quite some time now and the latest hiatus could see him miss the road to Survivor Series.

The Cenation leader, however, is booked for Survivor Series but does not have a clear cut feud going into the pay-per-view.

Rumours suggest that Cena could be leading Team SmackDown at Survivor Series against Team Raw. His pursuit of Ric Flair’s record is expected to resume after this. Cena would be feuding with AJ Styles from the looks of it, meaning that Ambrose won’t be taking the gold away from Styles.
