According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, John Cena is just about ready to return to the ring and is expected to be cleared anytime, if he hasn’t been cleared already.
He’s expected to appear at WrestleMania this weekend however his role has not yet been determined. If he is cleared, there is a major possibility of Cena getting physically involved.
Cena has been out of action since tearing his rotator cuff in December and had surgery. He’s been teasing his return heavily on Twitter as well as rehabbing the injury. Involvement in one of the major matches at WrestleMania seems extremely likely at this stage of the game.
Regardless of the outcome of the main event matches, WWE will likely be in a position to switch the creative direction of the company. They’re expecting many major stars back soon.
In an interview with Fox411, Cena stated that he’s “sweet talking” the doctors into letting him get back into the ring.
“Getting back in the ring is my goal and with surgical timetables, surgeons are very careful of their work and they can only go off of the people who are injured before them. I had a rotator cuff reattachment. I had an AC joint reconstruction and I had a giant arterial defect on the bone that goes into the ball in the socket in the shoulder. Basically, the round space was not round, it was cut in half. So all that had to regenerate and grow, but after over 400 hours of physical therapy, I feel pretty darn good.”
“The people who said conservatively nine months have now said well maybe I’ll reevaluate myself,” states Cena. “So I’m looking okay. I just got a little bit more sweet talking to do to the doctors so they can give me the green light.”
