WWE: John Cena Forms An Unlikely Alliance On Smackdown

After addressing the crowd in regards to his historic championship victory, John Cena instantly became a target on Smackdown LIVE when Royal Rumble winner Randy Orton and his Wyatt Family brother came to the ring to “stop the vicious cycle” of Cena holding the WWE Championship.

Just as the Wyatts were ready to pounce on the new champ, exiled family member Luke Harper came to Cena’s aid. In shades of former SD GM Teddy Long, Shane McMahon then put Cena and Harper in a tag match against the Wyatts. Facing Bray Wyatt ended up causing Harper a bit of emotional turmoil as he never found it in himself to come to blows with his former leader.

The confusion gave the Wyatts just enough room to cash in and pick up a big win over John Cena after an RKO out of, well, the corner of the ring.

Will Luke Harper remain on the opposite side of his former faction or can Bray convince him to come back to the fold?
