As John Cena enters the final stretch of his legendary career, the direction of his farewell tour seems to be shifting toward Raw. Most of the rumored opponents for his retirement match: Gunther, Dominik Mysterio, and even AJ Styles, are currently part of the Raw roster.
While Drew McIntyre remains a viable SmackDown option, the rest of the top-tier names are on the red brand. Cena has already spent the bulk of his recent appearances on SmackDown, defending the WWE Championship and delivering promos. With his remaining dates limited, Raw looks like the more logical platform for his final run.
