It has been speculated that Cena will be undergoing a rotator cuff surgery and if this is the case, the Superstar could be out of action for 6-9 months. WWE should take this chance to give a push to stars like Kewin Owens, Neville, Kalisto etc.

Already WWE are dealt with the absence of Seth Rollins, Cesaro, Daniel Bryan, Randy Orton due to injuries and Cena's injury means that WWE's plans for Wrestlemania have been dashed. John Cena was rumoured to face Undertaker in a match which could be the last match for the Phenom in WWE.
