SAY IT AIN’T SO, JOHNNY BOY! SAY IT AIN’T SO!

That’s a rough turn for the WWE, who is already trying to work through an incredibly depleted roster. Other stars currently on the shelf include Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Cesaro, Daniel Bryan, Nikki Bella, Sting, and Tyson Kidd. Cena going under the knife means that literally every champion exiting WrestleMania 31 is out right now

Every single one of the champions exiting WrestleMania 31 is now out due to injury.
Every single one of the champions exiting WrestleMania 31 is now out due to injury. One via knee, one via concussion, two via shoulders and two via necks.

It’s currently unknown what Cena’s specific injury is and there isn’t a definite timetable for his return. That said, he is almost certainly going to be out of the Royal Rumble, and numerous sources are saying he is unlikely to be available for WrestleMania 32. While Cena has a Wolverine-like ability to recover from injuries, it feels unlikely that he could work a match in just three months.

What caused this? And what does this mean for the WWE, then? And what should fans expect? Read on to find out.
