Coming out of Monday Night RAW, there were rumors that John Cena and Brock Lesnar sustained injuries which could put the card for WrestleMania XXX in jeopardy, however, reports on Tuesday morning indicate that the two superstars should be fine.
Cena looked as though he suffered a knee injury during a segment with The Wyatt Family on Monday night's show. Erick Rowan grabbed Cena's leg and held it in one direction as the weight of his body went the other way when the other members attacked him. Cena then powered through the rest of the segment while also waving off WWE doctors and it appeared as though he couldn't put weight on his leg.
After the segment, Cena was taken out on a stretcher during the commercial break and when the show came back from break announcer Michael Cole noted on commentary that Cena was being evaluated and had some swelling in his leg.
While it looked as though he was hurt, PWTorch reports sources within the WWE have admitted that the injury angle was a work and not a real-life ailment for Cena. WWE aired video for the RAW Backstage Pass post-show with Cena saying that he heard something "pop" in the knee when he went down. It was also noted that Cena went to the hospital and refused an MRI.
If Cena were actually hurt, it's doubtful the WWE would air him explaining the injury and he likely wouldn't refuse an MRI. According to the report, Cena wasn't really hurt and didn't even in reality go to the hospital. Cena is expected to take on Bray Wyatt on April 6 at WrestleMania XXX at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
It appeared as though Lesnar was also hurt during his segment with The Undertaker on the show. Lesnar and 'Taker started the buildup towards their match at WrestleMania XXX when Lesnar--irate at the fact that he wouldn't be fighting for the title--was given an open contract to face anyone at the show. After he declined to use it, The Undertaker came out and chokeslammed him through a table after Lesnar signed the contract to face him.
According to Wrestlingheadlines.com, Lesnar laid on the broken table for several minutes after the show went off the air following the chokeslam. Trainers checked on him and he left on his own power while limping towards the back. He also declined a word with Renee Young following him getting to the backstage area.
This was all likely just Lesnar selling the injuries to provide some storyline for the RAW post-show.
While it looked as though the WWE may have lost two main pieces to the WrestleMania XXX card, as of right now the Cena vs. Wyatt and Lesnar vs. Undertaker matches are still good to go.
