As many fans know, John Cena is being billed by WWE as a ‘Free Agent’ upon his return to Smackdown Live on July 4th. This means that he will likely bounce back and forth between RAW and Smackdown and won’t be exclusive to one brand.

Eric Bischoff recently spoke about Cena returning as a free agent on his podcast: ‘Bischoff on Wrestling’.
Here is what he had to say:
“I don’t dig it. I’ve said from the very beginning on this podcast that I predicted that it’ll become almost a non-issue at some point unless they really commit to making those brands feel different and unique. Like two different companies. If all you’re going to do is paint one red and paint one blue and talent is going to transition back and forth on a regular basis you’re calling it a brand split but it’s not. It’s just two different shows”
