“Newly implicated in the “AJ scandal” that forced Ms. Lee to resign as Raw’s General Manager Monday, John Cena will face questions asked directly by the WWE Universe during the live WWE Hell in a Cell Pre-Show Sunday. What will happen when the 12-time World Champion, who was already engulfed in a volatile rivalry with WWE Champion CM Punk before the “AJ scandal” broke, faces the scrutiny of the WWE Universe?”
