Backstage news on John Cena's return to action

John Cena

WWE superstar John Cena, who is taking some time off to recover from an elbow injury tweeted this picture recently.

Cena recently told the WWE universe that he is taking a four to six month hiatus to undergo an elbow surgery and recover from the process, and that he would try to return to the ring by Wrestlemania XXX. However, there are news making rounds that he is expected to make a ring return during the Royal Rumble.

That would mean a time period of only five months post surgery for Cena to make a return, which could certainly look like WWE are pushing the envelope.
