Backstage update on Cena's time off and WWE's stand on it

The speculations might be true

The IWC are quite elated when it comes to John Cena’s much deserved time off the due to the fact that he has been a regular fixture in the WWE’s activities for the better half of the last 12 years.

It was noted earlier that contrary to reports of nagging injuries or a possible wedding to Nikki Bella being the potential reasons fro his break, Cena is supposed to be hosting a new fitness-themed reality show on FOX. This is according to wrestling writer and author Scott Keith who also noted that the filming for the show is scheduled to take place between the 26th of October and 7th January which is set to air in fall next year.

What were earlier just speculations might actually be as true Bryan Alvarez of Wrestling Observer noted that the Cenation leader is indeed going to be filming for something during his time on the sidelines but did not confirm whether it was the same show.

The WWE is known to publicly issue announcements whenever a star is billed to take a break due to personal reasons, injuries or movie commitments. But in Cena's case they have been tight lipped and are staying quiet on the status of their top draw.

The filming is not the only reason Cena might be off for two months as he requested for a break back in summer citing personal reasons. One thing is for sure, Cena will be part of a scheduled filming during his 2-month hiatus that would end with him appearing at the next Madison Square Garden Live special on 26th October. Meanwhile, the U.S. title’s future hangs in the balance as it is not sure who Cena would be facing at Hell in a Cell and whether or not he would drop the belt at the PPV. 

Thr rumor mills suggest Cena dropping the title to one of the members of the New Day suspected to be Big E, so that when he does return he can be involved in a program with the preachers of positivity. If recent events on RAW are to be observed, Ziggler is most likely to face Cena at Hell in a Cell, which would be the right choice from a business and storyline standpoint.
