WWE should have started creating new stars BEFORE they lost their entire roster.....not this panic movement that they are in now where everybody who debuts goes on a 9 week undefeated streak and then gets a WWE Championship match before fading away into obscurity. The Miz Del Rio CM Punk Christian R Truth All these guys are right at the cusp and if needed too I'm sure they book these guys to be top draws. The Miz has already headlined Wrestlemaina and while he wasn't the one that was drawing he got his name out there, he is one face turn away from becoming a top draw. It worked for the Rock in 98 and it work for The Miz in 2011/2. |

Last weekends Smackdown house shows were canceled and moved to September due to poor ticket sales, and arena reports from this weeks Smackdown taping said that the arena was 45-50% empty and that nobody had ever seen an arena that empty for a WWE TV taping. And the Smackdown rating is tanking. Getting lower and lower every week. Last weeks show drew a 1.77 rating, which is down from the 1.83 rating the week before. So I guess the "HUGE MAIN EVENT" of Sheamus vs. Randy Orton that was being advertised didn't really help. WWE is very concerned about Smackdown. |

Coincidence that the decline started when they took the title off Christian. I agree.....Randy Orton is a strange case for the WWE. He's like Edge. Randy Orton is, and Edge was, a tremendous talent. Two of the biggest stars to come onto the scene in the last 10 years.......but they just aren't interesting Champions. I love Randy Orton, he's one of my favorites....but he's just a crappy Champion. It doesn't make sense. Same with Edge....I loved him, one of my favorites....but I just couldn't find him any more boring than he was as a Champion. Especially as a face Champion. Some guys are great, but just don't have that "it factor" to carry a brand. Now, that being said....I think once the initial happiness over Christian winning the title wore off that he probably doesn't have enough star power to carry Smackdown either....but he hasn't been given that chance yet. |

If Cena is hurt then it would be best to pull him now and let him heal. Last thing the WWE needs is Cena's body giving out right before Wrestlemania.

If true, this will really hurt WWE. There is no one currently in the company with his star power, and viewer garnering. Mysterio and Orton are the closest, but even they can't touch him.
Hope he's okay. WWE is alot worse without him.

FINALLY.... Raw's Mid-Carders will get pushes *coughcoughRyder* Look, now I'm all for a Ryder push, but you shouldn't wish an injury on someone. You serious bro? |

This is terrible. I respect the hell out of Cena. It makes me wonder how the WWE may fix themselves if John has to pull out for a while. I think Kofi Kingston should be called up to the main event scene on Raw right now. We seen he is capable of working a program in the main events.

Sucks that the guy injured himself but I can't stand his character so I'll be glad to see him off T.V. as long as possible, freshen things up in the main event and maybe I won't find him so annoying when he comes back (If he is infact having to take time off).

As much as I don't like John Cena's persona on TV, I never like to see anyone get injured. Especially if it turns out to be a serious, potentially career-ending but still career-shortening injury.

Damn. I guess better now than next March, but still, not good.
It also makes me think, WWE has Only actually got Rey Mysterio in terms of top name babyfaces on Raw, but I'm also thinking that Triple H is probably going to show up, win the belt, run through all the heels on Raw, then leave/Retire/Semi Retire.

Well that sucks but I hope he can vacate the belt instead of just dropping it to R-Truth because that would be a disaster..  I guess that leaves a big spot for the Raw faces. Rey could win the WWE title if they want to put it on a face but if not then I would think ADR or Punk would win it in the end. |

He should stay off TV for a really really long time so he can heal properly.

thats bad news if true.
I wonder what direction WWE would take if its true?have R-Truth go over strongly maybe?really hurting Cena in the process
maybe Cena trys to stop R-Truth attacking a fan or some such and he gets worked over badly.
if this is true WWE CAN create something from it.

Ohhhhhhhhhh...
If true (although haven't you lot already been fooled by one injury report this week?), then he needs to take time off and heal properly. If Cena's not healthy enough to face Rock next year at Mania, I imagine there'll be a lot of pissed off fans, of which I'll be one.

That sucks. I'm not a Cena fan per se, but he is the biggest draw in WWE right now. If anything, I'd have him drop the belt, have HHH get involved in a feud until Cena is better - but keep Cena on TV, maybe write it in as a kayfabe leg break so he appears injured but can still appear on TV. He's crucial to the WWE.
