WWE RAW 12/1 LIVE COVERAGE: John Cena returns to in-ring action

CenaJohnArt2_130GG_4.jpg
John Cena returns to in-ring action on Raw for the first time since his injury at Summerslam back in August. Last week's return to Raw in a non-wrestling role for Cena led to a 12 percent increase in TV ratings from the previous week's show. Tonight, he faces Kane in a non-title match with advanced hype. How will audiences respond now that Cena is once-again a permanent fixture on Raw? We'll have it covered live tonight at 9:00 p.m. EST.
