One night removed from co-starring in one of the best opening promos in recent RAW memory, John Cena has apparently been injured during a cage match against former Nexus leader Wade Barrett at a house show in Wilkes-Barre, PA. We don’t have all the details at this time, but hopefully Cena won’t have to miss an extended amount of time away from the ring.
The founder of BoredWrestlingFan.com and it’s parent company, Fropac Entertainment, ThinkSoJoE has been a wrestling fan since he first saw WWF television in 1986 at the age of four. His first wrestling memory was Hulk Hogan on Saturday Night’s Main Event talking about getting King Kong Bundy in a cage at WrestleMania 2. Sixteen years later, he met Hulk Hogan on the eve of WrestleMania X-8. On December 9, 2013, he legitimately won a Slammy Award (Best Crowd of the Year). ThinkSoJoE currently hosts the weekly BWF Radio podcast.
A cage match at a house show? As much as I've complained that house show audiences aren't treated as though they matter, and that nothing happening at a WWE house show is taken seriously when compared to tv, having a cage match at a house show seems a bit much.
Odd. A guy who should've been off TV in a firing angle gone a fowl, is now possibly injured off camera. And after a new amazing program with Punk was established. No jokes, no sarcasm. Does this force Orton into the top face spot?
It's plausible. Orton is supposedly working hurt as well, but who knows. The one silver lining for WWE out of all this is that they can pass off Cena's injury as being a result of the beatdown from Nexus this past Monday on RAW, which will give some much needed credibility back to the group and some bigger heat for a guy who is already one of the best (in my opinion) heels in the business today, CM Punk. Whatever the extent of Cena's injury, here's hoping for a quick recovery!

As you say, hopefully it isn't severe.
