WWE has just revealed some breaking news regarding tonight’s Royal Rumble Match. John Cena will be unable to compete in the event after sustaining an injury a few weeks ago. WWE had the following to say:
As first revealed on WWE Now this afternoon, John Cena will not compete in the Men’s Royal Rumble Match tonight due to his ankle injury. Cena first sustained the left ankle injury during the main event of the Jan. 14 episode of Raw. McIntyre trapped Cena in the ankle lock submission hold. Cena then appears to favor his left ankle while leaving the ring after Raw went off the air. Cena was unable to sufficiently recover in time for tonight’s 30-Man Royal Rumble Match, and has been ruled out of the bout as a result.
