On WWE Raw this week, a handful of superstars had a rough night. Who needs to turn things around quickly, especially with WrestleMania around the corner?

As much as we’d all like to think everything is sunshine, roses, and kittens, sometimes people hit a rough patch. It’s no different for WWE superstars. Sometimes, they’re just in a funk. After WWE Raw this week, there’s a few superstars who fall into this category.

This isn’t to say there’s no hope for these particular superstars to come back to the promised land. It’s WWE – things can change in a heartbeat. But at the present, here are three Raw superstars who are in need of a big boost in the coming weeks. And with WrestleMania less than two weeks away, now would be a good time to turn things around.

John Cena

Going back to the Royal Rumble, John Cena has been on a singular mission – get to WrestleMania. It’s an obvious goal, after all – big show, big spotight, big star. It fits. But at Cena failed to win the Royal Rumble, so his Road to WrestleMania got a bit tougher.

After losing in the Elimination Chamber a few weeks later, WWE’s Free Agent headed back to SmackDown Live. He pushed his way into what ultimately became a six pack challenge for the WWE Championship. And again, Cena came up short.

With no apparent path to get on the WrestleMania card, Cena decided to issue a challenge to the Undertaker. You know, the guy who apparently retired after last year’s WrestleMania. The only appearance Taker has made since losing to Roman Reigns in last year’s main event was at Raw 25, where he kind of alluded to being done.

Apparently, John Cena doesn’t care. For weeks, he’s complained that Undertaker won’t even respond to his challenge. This week on Raw, Cena defeated Kane – Undertaker’s brother – in a no disqualification match. But rather than let that be the end of it, Cena grabbed a mic and kept at his quest. It was a weird, anticlimactic way to end an episode of Raw.

The mocking of the Undertaker was also a bad look. Like, I get where Cena is coming from, but he comes across as a spoiled rich kid who isn’t getting his way. I thought his motto was “Hustle, Loyalty, Respect” – there’s been no respect here.

Just enter the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal already, John.
