John Cena Taking Time Off After SummerSlam?

[Dale]

- WWE officials are trying to keep quiet the severity of John Cena's elbow injury. Cena's elbow is in a lot worse shape than they are letting on and the decision was made last week for him not to wrestle until SummerSlam. Cena will be having surgery shortly after SummerSlam, meaning he will be taking some more time off.

Could explain the no show that was talked about in the other thread. Time for Randy M'fing Orton to step up

 

[Rated R Superstar]

Daniel Bryan has to win now! Come on!

 

[Cwalker]

If this is true, I think it guarantees Randy is successfully cashing I this Sunday. With Cena out, Bryan can be the focal point of RAW for a few months and feud with heel Orton.

As hard as Cena works though, he may not stay out as long as doctors tell him to after surgery

 

[Schmidty]

Orton won't cash in at Summerslam. It's motto obvious unless he gives Bryan a fighting chance.

 

[The Cork]

Can't believe they would let Cena be off TV for any stretch of time.

Look at what happened after Extreme Rules when he made some huge fuss about leaving, yet was on Raw the very next night :

 

[Chris]

Yeah it's hard to believe Cena would miss too much time like Cork said, but if so then this guarantees an Orton/Bryan feud for a few months.

 

[Tapout]

Cena takes time when he's legitimately injured. From the sounds of it, this is a pretty serious injury that will require some time off and surgery. If Cena was smart, he'd take all the time he can get. He's not getting any younger, and if he wants to be the head of the company for years to come, he has to start taking into account that his body needs more time to recover. He's not going to be superman forever.

Cena no-sold a broken neck, he is like Angle minus the pill problem ofcourse. He will work through it, or take surgery and no-sell that. It's not just his elbow that is fucked up, it's his back as well. He has been working with herniated discs, there is a reason he take backbumps differently than most other guys on the roster,

He doesn't need to work everyday, but let's be honest here, he has nothing to really go home to, no wife, no children. His whole life revolves around WWE, I honestly think that isn't some catchphrase he says to get people cheering, pretty sure he actually believes that.

Fucked up thing is, he is bulletproof in his company standing, but if you're the king. Gotta watch the throne. Should take time off, give his face a rest, it's the time of year that WWE likes to experiment, give the belt to the little guy, see what kind of difference the fanboys of "workrate" make in terms of viewership and merchandise sales.

 

[Troy]

If he was going to take time off then this is the right time to do it. This is always a quiet period for WWE so they won't miss him as much as they would if he was out for the first few months of the year. They may as well give him the time off to heal properly to ensure that he is 100% for the Road to Wrestlemania where the big money is made. Would give them a chance to test out some other names at the top to see who the other draws are in the company.

 

[SAIYANS]

Cena may be bulletproof but I honestly think its less about watching his throne and more about being old school. If he can walk he can work and probably feels like they should give time off to those who can't work. He's the perfect worker for any boss to be honest, always shows up and goes all out without ever causing trouble

 

[Keith]

He is over due a break and it gives WWE a chance to freshen things up.
