WWE.com has published a new article in which the resident WWE doctor comments on John Cena’s condition. The article’s content features an interview with Dr. Michael Sampson, who claims that Cena has been dealing with bursitis in his elbow, and an MRI revealed a partial triceps tear.
Sampson said,
“John has been dealing with a large left elbow bursitis. We did an MRI which showed a partial triceps tear. Being the warrior that he is, he did not want to have surgery [forcing him to cancel his SummerSlam match]. After SummerSlam, John agreed with us to have surgery this week with WWE’s Dr. James Andrews. He will begin physical therapy after that.”
As we previously reported, Cena will not be involved in active in-ring competition for four-to-six months.
