John Cena has announced
that he is to take a break
from the WWE ring for up to
half a year while he recovers
from surgery on his arm.
The 36-year-old grappler is
set to undergo an operation
on a torn left tricep, and will
not be able to wrestle again
for four to six months.
The official WWE Universe
twitter feed broke the news
that the 20-time WWE
championship winner was
advised by doctors a
fortnight ago to get surgery.
"Cena tells the @WWEUniverse
that he was told to get
surgery for a torn tricep two
weeks ago. He is leaving @
WWE tonight for 4-6 months,"
the Twitter message read.
The wrestler himself had
previously hinted at the
situation, with a cryptic
picture on Instagram of a
road sign reading "change
ahead".
Cena was defeated at WWE
SummerSlam on Sunday
night.
