Tonight’s Monday Night Raw will feature a tribute to Mean Gene Okerlund, who passed away last week. Many expected to see the WWE to honor the Hall of Famer in the opening segment of the show. Oddly enough, that isn’t the case.
John Cena will return to Monday Night Raw tonight, and it was revealed on Twitter that the 16-time World Champion will open the show.
