and thats what happens when Vince puts all of his eggs in one basket

and to think the guy just recently returned from injury

I am also a bit skeptical about WWE.com reporting this injury. If anything, the WWE likes to stay quiet about these injuries. I am not saying this injury illigetimate, what I'm saying, is this injury may not be that serious. Usually this kind of stuff is leaked to outside sources, and then WWE does some weird angle to write them off television. The WWE rarely, if ever, announces and injury on their website, and the superstar gets written off television.

Also, no one in attendance reported anything odd about Cena's achilles. If you tear your achilles, thats a painful injury and there will be noticeable pain.

My take is, Cena tweaked his achilles, is fine, and will announce to the world tomorrow night that he's going to fight like hell to retain his championship.

So yes, Raw in particular would be hurt. Example, CM Punk doesn't chase the World Heavyweight title, neither does Cena. Randy Orton doesn't chase the WWE title, neither does Sheamus.

Yet they all wrestle on the same shows. That's not a seperation between Raw and Smackdown, that's title seperation. That's like naming a new brand for Kofi Kingston, who seemingly only ever chases after the intercontinental title.

I'm not buying this one as a shoot until more details emerge.dalejrgamer

Shoulda pushed Cesaro, Sandow, Ryder, Rhodes (ect. ect.). Oh well, at least now they might actually have no choice but to push more people. 

stop trying new things cena

WON reports that he suffered a bruised heel, so this is actually legitimate.

As far as how severe the injury is (or how he got injured in the first place), that is unclear.

Cena tweeted about how he's banged up, but not missing Raw = He's fine.Randyspeeps

they need to make everyone a free agent and do the Draft on RAW and Smackdown. that would clear up all the confusion and set the Titles apart once again. they also should split the Tag Team and Divas Titles and have a true separation like they did back in 2007.jediknight52501

The roster isn't nearly dense enough to support this type of format anymore, though. The only reason it worked before is because their roster became so overflowed. But the way things are now? Honestly, there's no point in a brand split anymore, there'd be no real benefit to it, and quite frankly there's too many titles floating about nowadays as well. The world title especially has got to go.

I would argue that it's the US title that needs the boot, given that it's become entirely irrelevant. Although it is getting harder and harder for me to justify the World Heavyweight title in the same way I used to even just a year and a half ago.

We need David Arquette to bring legitimacy back to that title.
