WWE News: John Cena off European tour, taking time off for personal reasons
WWE U.S. Champion John Cena will be taking time off from wrestling shortly for what the WWE has described as personal reasons.
While we don’t know the exact time frame that he will be gone, the 38-year-old Cena isn’t advertised on anything after the Hell in a Cell PPV special in late-October starting with the next night’s RAW in San Diego, CA. As of now, he is being advertised for their December shows.
As part of the time off, WWE officials have confirmed he will not be appearing on any dates during the company’s upcoming 10-day European tour that will see them do shows in Ireland, the United Kingdom, Spain, Italy, and Germany.
Cena recently regained the U.S. title from WWE World Champion Seth Rollins at WWE Night Of Champions, and is set to face Rollins in a steel cage match for the title this Saturday at the Madison Square Garden show on WWE Network.
