With the world still processing the heel-turn of John Cena, he’s remained absent from WWE programming. If the current schedule is any indication then he’s not appearing in any shows set to emanate with the United States in the coming weeks. Rather, he’s slated to work a few international dates as part of WWE’s tour to the United Kingdom.
John Cena wasn’t scheduled to appear on this week’s Raw, as confirmed by the general manager of the show Adam Pearce. His next WWE TV appearance will be on the March 17th episode of Raw in Brussels, Belgium. The current absence from WWE programming could be attributed to his movie filming schedule as he headed straight to Africa after Elimination Chamber.
Following the Brussels show set from the Forest National in Belgium, two more Raw appearances are scheduled for John Cena at the OVO Hydro in Glasgow, Scotland, and the O2 Arena in London, England, respectively on March 24 and March 31.
