John Cena Injured

WWE star John Cena is suffering from a herniated disk in his neck. The injury happened from a "powerbomb" from fellow wrestler Batista.
Cena says this about the injury,
"It's a different injury than the pectoral tear because that was more of a muscle injury; this is concerning my Bones, which has a lot less blood flow than muscle tissue. It also has to do with my neck, which is a very fragile area," Cena described.
"Every moment I stay away from the table is another moment something bad can happen. The disk is so bulged out and inflamed that any sudden move could make it worse."
But when it comes to the Chain Gang Commander, the pain associated with this type of injury is perhaps second only to the anguish of being forced away from sports-entertainment - his home. Still, Cena recognizes what he needs to do, even if it means stepping away from the ring for some time.
"You can either do one or two things: You can be upset or pout or you can know what to do to get better," Cena said. "I'm already in the mode of getting the surgery as quick as I can."
He continued, "In the last ten months, I've really focused on functional strength training and I'm stronger than I've ever been. My goal is to talk to the neurosurgeon about how quickly I can get back to full-throttle training and getting back into the ring. And that's the ultimate goal - to be strong as I can and get back into the ring as soon as possible."
