John Cena Had Emergency Nose Surgery on July 28

According to a report from Justin LaBar of CSRWreslting.com and WrestleZone, WWE United States Champion John Cena had emergency nose surgery on July 28 to correct some breathing issues, which were the result of a broken nose. Cena suffered the injury during the main event of the July 27 edition of “Monday Night Raw,” when WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins laid in a stiff shot to Cena’s face with his knee.

According to the report, Cena had surgery on Tuesday. WWE.com reported that Cena was rushed to a near-by emergency room in Oklahoma immediately following “RAW” to determine what would need to be done for the superstar.

On top of the surgery that Cena underwent to correct his breathing problems, he will reportedly need some reconstructive procedures done as well. The medical advice for The Champ is for him to have the surgeries and stay out of the ring for several weeks.

This would dramatically change the landscape of WWE’s planned direction for “SummerSlam” on Aug. 23, if Cena does in fact take several weeks off. It seemed as if the company was leading to a WWE World Heavyweight Championship bout between Cena and Rollins at the annual Summer event.

One source told LaBar, when talking about Cena’s toughness and how long he’d actually need to be out to heal said, “It’s John Cena, you never know.”

WrestlingRumors.net will continue to update this story as more details become available. We also wish Cena a full and speedy recovery.

Editor’s Note:

Interesting. I wondered if he’d have to sit out of action for a while after seeing the image of his face straight on. I wonder what WWE’s response will be when booking “SummerSlam,” or if Cena (or anyone higher-up) will blame Rollins and drop a ton of heat on him for the incident.
