WWE News: John Cena's arm surgery update

WWE.com has updated John Cena‘s condition following elbow surgery yesterday and has included the following quote from Dr. James Andrews, who performed Cena’s surgery:

“He had begun to lose motion in his arm, and it had been locking up,” Andrews said. “I performed an orthoscopic procedure on his elbow and took out a bunch of spurs. Everything went really well.” Andrews described the procedure as “straight-forward” despite Cena’s “big, old arm.”

“Cena’s rehab will start on Monday with trying to improve his range of motion and getting the swelling down,” Andrews explained.”

John Cena also addressed the Cenation following surgery on Tuesday afternoon. John Cena tweeted:
