WWE  announced that the prognosis for John Cena after his surgery today for his herniated disc is "excellent", according to Pittsburgh Steelers' team physician and noted neurosurgeon Dr. Joseph Maroon, who conducted the surgery in Pittsburgh.

Maroon told WWE.com  that the WWE main eventer  will be cleared to work out next week and is expected to be back in the ring within 2 to 4 months.

“We performed a microsurgical removal of a large disk fragment compression on the spinal cord which was weakening the nerve leading to the right arm," Dr. Maroon stated,  "We created a small incision in the front of the neck using an operating microscope to remove the fragment from the spinal cord and nerve. The operation took approximately an hour and a half."
