Ex-WWE Writer on Possible Friction Between Cena & Vince

- Former WWE writer Court Bauer joined Konnan and Mister Saint Laurent on MLW Radio and talked about the friction between John Cena and Vince McMahon regarding Cena's surgery last week:

"John
Cena has this procedure done in Birmingham, AL. WWE.com puts out there
that he'll be down for only two weeks and that life will go on. It was
basically like removal of fragments and bone spurs in his arm or his
elbow, which if you follow sports, baseball players have it done all the
time, usually in the office season. NFL guys will have it done here or
there. It's a pretty easy deal. So, I don't think anyone was thinking it
was going to be this long stretched out thing, but then the reports
came out about how long John Cena was going to be down for. John Cena
then took to Twitter saying that WWE.com got the story wrong and that
he's going to be out for a full six [weeks] and he just buried WWE.com
and all the guys over there. The story obviously then switched to 'now
he's out six weeks.'"

"From what I know, Vince McMahon himself, in
the agent meeting, the producers meeting, told everyone straight up the
dude is out for just two weeks, 'we dodged a bullet and that he's very
much in the mix moving forward.' That was Tuesday, he said that. Then
Cena had very different things to say and I understand WWE.com did talk
to James Andrews [Cena's doctor], who WWE and Cena did give them the
blessing to talk to. That's standard protocol at WWE. They always try to
interview the doctor, get insight so they can have the news. Sometimes
it's a kayfabe site and sometimes it's a legit news site. Sometimes it's
a TMZ site, but that's the story. They interviewed him and Dr. James
Andrews did say he'd be out just two weeks."

"So you have to
wonder if Vince and the doctor said it and Cena is saying six weeks,
there is an interesting issue there. Is it that John Cena wanted the
full six weeks out? Was John Cena then told something after Tuesdays
that conflicted with this? But it was very quickly thereafter they
reported it on the website that this was not in fact the situation. The
reality of it is, John Cena is coming off a divorce, he's beaten up.
He's got a bad neck, a bad hip, bad everything. He's closing in on 36.
The wear and tear of a guy like that, that goes, goes, goes and is a
company man, you gotta think about."

"And if you're Vince McMahon,
you look at the clock, you look at the calendar and you think, is it
time to build the next John Cena?"
