WWE officials specifically scripted John Cena not to appear on Monday's RAW from Indianapolis because WWE Champion The Rock couldn't be there. They did not want to bring attention to the fact that the WWE Champion wasn't there on the Road to WrestleMania 29.

They went against the idea of having Cena come out and cut an in-ring promo because The Rock would have looked weak not being there to respond to it. They also did not want to put it out there that Rock was in South Korea at a GI Joe 2 movie premiere. The decision was made to just air the video package for their match.

Exactly why I thought he hadn't shown up and it was a pretty good show. It gave more time to other rivalries and the promo they showed for their match was pretty good as well

Dude your sig is definitely orton rocking makeup in a bad light :lol1:

I'm glad they took a week off, like from said it means more time for other rivalries to build, we already know what we are getting into with cena/rock. Watching Raw in a couple hours, should be good.

So they thought the show would actually draw without Cena? Interesting.

If they didn't want to bring attention to the champ not being on the show, they shouldn't have put the belt on Rocky

Cena's and Rock's disappearance leads basically to no build up. It be funny if they keep doing this untill Mania. It will be feud with no build up whatsoever...

It really doesn't need much build if any. It has all already been done. It's two babyfaces, one champion the other not who faced each other last year with one coming out on top. Now the other guy wants his second shot to prove that he is just as good. The fact that the other guy now is champion only sweetens the deal.

The video package they showed was the best thing about this feud so far. So IMO it was better than actually having them there.

Cena should get more time off to be honest. If the Rock can hold the belt and not be there every week, I think it should only be fair that other wrestlers get time off too. Not all at once but here and there.
