Ordinarily, this item would seem like a joke, a cryptic comment about the roster staying healthy since were just two months away from WrestleMania. Sadly, this comment has now become a serious question, and one thats asked with great trepidation. Look at the members of the roster that currently sit on the shelf: John Cena, Randy Orton, Daniel Bryan, Sting, Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Sin Cara, Tyson Kidd, King Barrett, Sheamus and possibly Alberto Del Rio. That is an all-star roster in many respects, with seven former world champions and several other talented performers. Sheamus and Del Rio reportedly joined the ranks of the walking wounded just this past week. With WrestleMania nine weeks out, WWE has to be concerned about making sure they dont lose any more wrestlers, or else we could be looking at Titus ONeil - WrestleMania main eventer. Maybe the running joke about wrapping Roman Reigns in bubble wrap has some truth to it: WWE cant afford any more major injuries on the Road to WrestleMania.
