WWE’s Dr. Michael Sampson recently spoke with WWE.com about John Cena’s injury. Here is what he had to say about the injury and how it will be repaired…
“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.”
Cena is expected to be out four (mid-December) to six (mid-February) months.
