8 WWE Superstars who had to be legitimately rushed to hospital after a match

#3 John Cena

Cena was taken away to the emergency room after the match

John Cena is one of the biggest WWE Superstars of all time, and the man that never backs down has shown time and time again that he is one of the toughest men to ever step into the WWE ring.

We’ve seen Cena brave through many injuries and difficult times in the ring, and one spot that helped him establish himself into the toughest man around came in July 2015.

Cena suffered an injury during his WWE United States Open Challenge

Cena defended his United States Championship against WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins on WWE RAW as part of his United States Open Challenge. During the match, a knee to Cena’s face from Rollins left his nose bloodied and bruised.

It was obvious that Cena was in pain as his nose was broken during the move and he was having trouble breathing initially. However, the Doctor of Thuganomics recovered and continued to compete in the match and went on to defeat The Architect.

Following the match, Cena was taken to the emergency room for check-up and procedures that followed.

WWE Dr. Steve Daquino updated the WWE Universe on WWE's website:

"As you can see on television tonight, John suffered from a nasal fraction. He's got quite a bit of displacement, so we sent him over to the local emergency room so he can be evaluated by the ears, nose, and throat doctor who's on call tonight and see what can be done to properly repair it."

Thankfully, Cena’s injury was not too severe and the 16-time World Champion was back in the ring soon.
