Report: John Cena suffers injury during 'Monday Night Raw' main event
On Tuesday, October 2, 2007 at 1:33 AM EST PWInsider is reporting that the word making the rounds at the Raw taping in Cleveland, OH on Monday night was that WWE Champion John Cena is believed to have suffered a torn right pectoral muscle during his match against Mr. Kennedy.
WWE.com is reporting that Cena headed to Birmingham, Alabama right away to meet with Dr. James Andrews for an evaluation. Cena is believed to have suffered the injury during a botched hip toss on Kennedy that saw Kennedy land on Cena awkwardly.
For those watching live, you could clearly see Cena speaking with the referee after the match. He apparently gutted out the rest of his match with Kennedy in pain as well as the ending to the show where he was "attacked" by Randy Orton, which included an RKO on the announcers table. As of now, Cena is still scheduled to face Orton this Sunday at No Mercy in a Last Man Standing Match for the WWE Title. WWE has the latest at this link.
We will continue to follow this story as it develops, which has potential to be a huge blow to WWE if Cena will need time off as a result of the injury.
