John Cena Will Miss WWE WrestleMania 32 With Severe Injury

Cena set to undergo surgery and will be unable to perform at the biggest show of the year.

John Cena has a severe shoulder injury and is now expected to miss WrestleMania 32 this year due to a torn rotator cuff, as first reported by PWInsider. It's not known as of right now when Cena suffered the injury. As WhatCulture.com readers are well aware, Cena was out of action from late October until late December to film a reality show for FOX television. He returned to the ring the weekend of December 26th on the house show circuit. Cena then wrestled on RAW on December 28th, his first televised match for WWE since October, in a losing effort against Alberto Del Rio. That match was his only televised match since returning to the ring. https://twitter.com/JohnCena/status/684920619247337474 Cena did not appear on RAW this week, though he did appear at the SmackDown tapings (he did not wrestle) which will air Thursday evening on the USA Network. Cena could have suffered his injury during one of his several house show matches since December 26th, possibly in the match with Del Rio on RAW, or it could have even happened while working out. We'll provide an update when more is known on the nature of how Cena sustained the injury. Cena will undergo surgery on the torn rotator cuff on Thursday in Birmingham, Alabama with Doctor James Andrews. As of right now, he is expected to miss somewhere between three and six months of action. As of late, WWE's plans were to have Cena wrestle The Undertaker at WrestleMania 32 in Dallas; a match that could have possibly been the swan-song for The Undertaker in his home state of Texas against WWE's biggest modern star. Obviously, those plans are now being changed as WWE looks to go into re-write mode for their biggest show of the year in just under two months time. Cena has wrestled on every WrestleMania event since WrestleMania 20 in 2004. He appeared at WrestleMania 19 in 2003 in a non-wrestling role.
