| Major Update on John Cena |

Page 1 of 2 Mike Johnson of PWInsider has posted a major update on John Cena's injury.
Cena's scheduled to be examined by Dr. Lloyd Youngblood in San Antonio, Texas within the coming days. Youngblood is the same doctor who has performed neck surgery on WWE stars in the past, such as Steve Austin, Edge, Lita, Scotty 2 Hotty, Chris Benoit, Rhyno and more recently, Gregory Helms. And if the injuries sustained by the previously mentioned are any indication, Cena's going to be on the shelf for a very, very long time. No word has come out of Cena's visit with Dr. Joseph Maroon out of the University of Pittsburgh, which was scheduled to happen this morning. One can speculate, however, that he will indeed be receiving the same fusion surgery that Gregory Helms just recently received. If he does indeed receive said surgery, he will be out of action for a devastating 12 to 14 months. Doing the math, that will mean that not only will he miss WrestleMania 25 as far as being an in-ring compeitor goes, but he will also miss next year's SummerSlam. The surgery would schedule him for, at earliest, a return in the Fall of 2009. Needless to say, everyone in the company is holding their breath at this point. Alot of people are looking at worst case scenarios, and hopefully, things will be revealed not to be as bad as expected. Cena was NOT at RAW last night, explaining why he didn't appear live. He's said to be beside himself with having to miss more time away from the ring. He's been prepared by WWE officials for the next steps as what to do if he does indeed need the surgery. Love him or hate him, this is a dark day for the WWE. From watching wrestling for nearly two decades, I can tell you right now that while Cena will return to the ring, it's very, very unlikely he will ever wrestle the same way again, especially if he gets the form of fusion Austin, Lita & Helms received. Between the Ropes is live on ESPN Radio 1080 tonight at 6pm EST, and they will have the absolute latest information on Cena's devastating injury. Stay tuned to BTR.com as well for the latest, up to the minute news updates regarding this story.
Posted by: Joe Gr at 08-26-2008 19:20 This sux. Not only for Cena and the WWE but for us. Cena has been the top guy for some time now and now we kinda have to look elsewhere. It's good for younger guys trying to climb up the ladder, but bad in a sense that Cena might not be able to put any of them over. WWE is gonna have to wake up do two things here. One is to start building new guys in a serious way. Two, is they need to lighten up the work schedule. Cut back on House Shows and give these guys time to rest up !!!!!!!!!!! Posted by: Katie M at 08-26-2008 20:00 I hope John cena takes the time he needs, and not try to come back too fast just like last time. Posted by: rebecca myers at 08-26-2008 20:08 that is bollaks not cena hes the man Posted by: PJ at 08-26-2008 21:49 Never been a Cena fan but at the same time I never want to hear of ANYONE going down with a major injury like this, hope everything works out for him. Posted by: Scott at 08-26-2008 21:52 Did you guys notice how that sorry crowd on Raw Monday was cheering when they announced he was injured? Posted by: Hardway361 at 08-26-2008 22:17 It now looks like Cena will be back within 2-4 months reports say on wwe.com Posted by: Ronrico at 08-27-2008 01:05 Wow! This sucks for RAW. The show was already in the toilet,now this.I guess it's time to bring Triple H back and send CM Punk to Smackdown. Posted by: Jeff Wiseman at 08-27-2008 03:01 I hope he takes his time and heals fully and doesn't rush back like last time. Posted by: Jorge from Va Beach at 08-27-2008 03:11 I've got to tell you, eventhough I'm not the biggest Cena fan, he defenetley didn't deserve this. Hope he gets better soon. RAW needs starpower since it all went to SD! Posted by: Fivs at 08-27-2008 11:08 Hey, wwe.com is saying that Cena was at Smackdown, just a few hours after his surgery... he was walking about saying hi to everyone.... this man is the toughest SOB i have ever heard of! |
