He's the face of the company and the idea of a show without him makes Vince McMahon's body clinch so tight. Following last night's brutal beating, Cena told the world that he was going away for a while.
Question on Everybody's Mind: Why is Cena leaving?
Our Take: WWE is a brutal place to work. Your body goes through so much and there's almost no time off for anyone, so you have to take small breaks. His body has reportedly been banged up for some time and he needs time now before something bad happens.
In the past when Cena has been "fired" or talked about going away, WWE always brought him back because they feel that one show without him will cause business to collapse. He likely forced their hand this time around and it's going to force WWE to try new things in the interim.
Of course, this could just be another WWE ruse and he comes back in a week.
