8 Wrestlers Who Worked Through Ridiculous Injuries

7. John Cena - Broken Nose

A broken nose might seem a common or garden injury for athletes in most sports - a quick glance in the direction of Steve Bruce, a man whose squashed mush would struggle to challenge most rotting pumpkins in a beauty contest, is testament to that. But generally speaking, it's a case of giving it a little wiggle and carrying on.

Carry on John Cena did after Seth 'Dangerous' Rollins bent The Champ's nose all out of shape with a wild flying knee during the 28 July 2015 episode of Raw, but it'd take more than a little wiggle to fix his crushed conk: Cena's face had been rendered almost two-dimensional by Rollin's anvil of a shoe.

After the match, WWE published gruesome photos of Cena's hideous hooter which wouldn't have looked out of place in the evidence room. It was another kill for Rollins - no doubt Bret Hart turned his own nose up at the grisly situation.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
