Report: John Cena To Begin Filming New Movie On Sunday

Rest easy everyone, John Cena is not actually injured.

According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer, Cena is scheduled to begin filming a new movie on Sunday, which would keep him out of the Royal Rumble.

Hours before Raw on Monday, WWE reported that Cena suffered an “ankle injury” during last weeks fatal four-way main event. Drew McIntyre put Cena in ankle lock during the bout and Cena sold it as his ankle being tweaked from the move. He was limping around the ring and up the ramp following the bout and after Raw went off the air. According to WWE, Cena “re-injured” his ankle while working out during the week.

WWE is listing Cena as “questionable” heading into this Sunday’s Royal Rumble. As of now, he is still being advertised for the show and is listed on WWE.com as one of the entrants into the men’s Royal Rumble. 

Fightful will have live coverage of the Royal Rumble this Sunday.
