Along with him are other superstars such as the Big Show, Kane, The New Day, Ryback, Dolph Ziggler, and Tyler Breeze, just to name a few.
With the recent turn of events, Cena now joins the injured list of superstars for the past year.
Another Cageside Seats report noted how every champion from last year's WrestleMania 31 event is now on the WWE's injured list. One of the notable names is that of Randy Orton, who is currently dealing with a shoulder and neck injury and has not yet determined his comeback timetable.
Cena's training partner, Cesaro, is also on the list, also due to a shoulder injury and is also unsure about when his return would be.
Former world heavyweight champion Seth Rollins is also one of the more prominent names on the list. Rollins injured his knee in a house show match with Kane, where he was forced to drop his title. After deeming his surgery a success, he is now undergoing rehab.
