WWE has revealed that John Cena will not wrestle at the Royal Rumble.
The company has just tweeted out that the sixteen-time world champion is unable to participate in the match due to injury.
Before today, the company was still advertising Cena but mentioned that he was 'questionable'.
There have been reports that Cena was never going to wrestle at the PPV and that Lars Sullivan was supposed to have shot an angle on Raw where he injured Cena to write him out of the PPV.
Sullivan's health setback meant WWE had to go with another route and stated that Cena hurt himself a couple of weeks ago on Raw, but the injury worsened at the start of this week.

Technically Cena was never "advertised" for the Rumble event. Even though storylines had him in the match, WWE's event page never listed him as one of the superstars for the event, nor was he ever listed on local advertising. He was only ever advertised for the three events he worked and isn't advertised again until after Fastlane.
ReplyDeleteWWE has a bit of plausible deniability here.
You do understand that when someone says they're going to be at a PPV on live TV, that's advertising?
DeleteDunno how exactly to contact you, but the men's rumble is slated to main event tonight, as per Fightful Select/Sean Ross Sapp. Dunno if that'll affect the odds somehow, but I imagine it will.
ReplyDeleteYeah, and apparently the Smackdown Women's Championship match is first.
DeleteThanks Darkstar!
