Hours before Raw on Monday, WWE reported that Cena suffered an "ankle injury" during last weeks fatal four-way main event. Drew McIntyre put Cena in ankle lock during the bout and Cena sold it as his ankle being tweaked from the move. He was limping around the ring and up the ramp following the bout and after Raw went off the air. According to WWE, Cena "re-injured" his ankle while working out during the week.
