John Cena Having Elbow Surgery

Quote :: John Cena is reportedly dealing with several injuries besides the elbow that was operated on and the busted ankle from Night of Champions. Regarding the elbow injury that was operated on yesterday, it was not because of something that happened at Sunday's pay-per-view.

The elbow issue was something that was known before but F4Wonline.com reports that Cena had an MRI on the elbow while at RAW on Monday and nobody expected it to be something that needed surgery. Cena got word on Tuesday that he needed surgery on the elbow. The feeling was that he needed to rest several injuries and that they should get the surgery done while they have several weeks in between pay-per-views.

The goal is for Cena to return in time for the Hell in a Cell pay-per-view to face WWE Champion CM Punk. Cena won't be wrestling at live events but he will still have a presence on RAW until he recovers.

Quote :: As noted before, WWE announced on Tuesday that John Cena had surgery to remove bone chips in his right elbow by Dr. Andrews in Alabama. Andrews used a scope to remove several pieces of bone cartilage from Cena's elbow.

Andrews says the procedure was "straight-forward" despite Cena's "big, old arm." He told WWE.com:

"He had begun to lose motion in his arm, and it had been locking up. I performed an orthoscopic procedure on his elbow and took out a bunch of spurs. Everything went really well."

Andrews added that Cena's rehabilitation will begin on Monday with trying to improve his range of motion and getting the swelling down. As noted before, WWE says Cena is expected to recover in 2-3 weeks but an update on his recovery will be available on Thursday when he is reevaluated by doctors.
