Fans were excited to see that the beloved WWE star John Cena made a brief return to the promotion at WWE Payback. The Cenation Leader then took time out of his busy Hollywood schedule to dedicate his time to the WWE Universe. Although the stint was short, it had been a memorable one for the fans. This prolonged stint saw him teaming up with LA Knight to take down Roman Reigns and the Bloodline. However, this time around, he encountered a foe in the form of Solo Sikoa. The Enforcer of The Bloodline emerged as a tough competition for the veteran as he handed Cena a decisive loss at the Crown Jewel PLE.
Fans were devastated to see that The Leader of the Cenation could not overcome his 2000+ days losing streak. But what was more painful for the fans was the fact that he underwent two arm surgeries following the PLE. This started to raise the question of how grave were the injuries given to him by Sikoa.

Right off the bat, Sikoa was on a mission to take down John Cena. The wrestling legion saw a slow and decisive development of the storyline when the two had multiple run-ins over the past two months. The final showdown at the Crown Jewel emerged as a gruesome encounter for the 46-year-old star’s fans to watch. Cena was particularly struggling to keep himself together throughout the fight against the 30-year-old Samoan fighter. As the fight came to a conclusion, fans saw Sikoa deliver more than 10 Samoan Spikes to John Cena, leaving him completely devastated.
As the bout ended and Sikoa left the ring, we saw the Hollywood star gasping for air and visibly struggling as he walked out of the arena. A couple of days later, Cena tweeted on X (formerly Twitter) conveying the fact that he had undergone arm surgery. This came as a shock to many, as the wrestling faithful didn’t expect him to have suffered injuries to such a severe extent.
He delivered the good news that his one arm is now clear and he will be heading for therapy. But along with that, he informed fans that he will be undergoing another surgery.
The 16-time world champion has previously said that he considers his age to be a major contributing factor. With the recent news of his second surgery, how are things looking for John Cena in terms of his WWE career?
