John Cena landed pretty badly on his neck in his match against Shinsuke Nakamura last night:
After the match, Nakamura said, “I’m sorry” and Cena replied, “Don’t be sorry.”

According to PWInsider, John Cena seemed fine backstage after the show. After SmackDown went off the air, he also did a spot where he put Baron Corbin through the announce table, but he looked a little stiff during it.
Austin Aries, who had his orbital bone broken by Nakamura last year, posted this:
I feel ya @JohnCena. On the bright side, at least @ShinsukeN didn't break your eyehole too. #Respect #SmackDownLIVE pic.twitter.com/DSROzqqc02

Kevin Owens had this to say:
Those freaking out over @JohnCena's rough landing must have missed the fact that he was revealed to be an actual transformer the day before.

Cena then responded to Owens’ tweet:
Did kinda tip my hand there. I know U can't C me, but there's #Morethanmeetstheeye much #Respect to @ShinsukeN good luck at #SummerSlam @WWE https://t.co/CqhYy4NJoz
