Report: New Raw GM decision kept quiet - Cena/Batista not in the know
On Tuesday, August 5, 2008 at 6:02 PM EST According to a report in The Figure Four Weekly Newsletter, almost no one within WWE knew who was going to be announced as the new General Manager on Raw last week. This included John Cena and Batista when the announcement was made at the end of the show involving the two in the ring with Mike Adamle. So, the reactions Cena and Batista gave were genuine. Cena in particular was described as being in total awe of the decision. During the day backstage before the taping people were reportedly accusing each other of being the new GM. The decision to put Adamle in the role was obviously a big surprise to everyone.
