5 WWE Superstars who are set to return from injury
For the last year or so, WWE has been ravaged by a state of recurring injuries. Whether it’s the hectic schedule or the more physical style employed in modern wrestling, injuries haven’t been kind over the last 12 months. As soon as a wrestler got a good run, he got injured and eventually lost his steam. Imagine how different the WrestleMania 32 card would have been if some of WWE’s top stars had been fit.
Recently Vince McMahon announced that a host of injured superstars would be gradually be returning to WWE programming beginning with John Cena’s return on May 30. Along with Cena, the likes of Seth Rollins, Randy Orton, Bray Wyatt and Neville will also return soon. Neville, a little later than the others.
In this article, I look at all of their potential returns and where and how they may fit into the WWE machine when they’re finally back in action.
1: John Cena
‘The face that runs the place’ announced in January this year that he needed shoulder surgery and would most probably miss the biggest WrestleMania of all time. Despite repeated teases on social media that me might miraculously recover in time, Cena never did. His marquee match with The Undertaker will just have to wait for another year.
WWE announced earlier this month that John Cena would finally be returning to action on 30th May.
Where will Cena fit in once he returns?
Cena will almost certainly go back after the US Championship when he returns. Cena held the belt from WrestleMania 31 to Hell In A Cell last October to a returning Alberto Del Rio before going off to film American Grit.
Cena never ended up getting his rematch owing to his American Grit commitments and the subsequent injury. Expect him to come out and challenge the winner of Kalisto vs Rusev at Extreme Rules upon his return.
There’s also a small chance that Cena will take on Roman Reigns for the belt sometime in the summer in a face vs face showdown.
