Broken, bloody, and still fighting.

Last night on WWE Raw, John Cena suffered a horrible nose break after Seth Rollins kneed him straight in the face. Look, we all know that wrestling is staged – but injuries do happen. Just check out any match with the iconic Mankind for proof. But it’s rare that we see these kind of cringing injuries in the world of wrestling.

Yet dispite the obvious pain John Cena was probably feeling during this very real injury… the show went on. Cena refused to leave the ring and simply kept the match going – battling on to defeat Rollins and retain his US title. All of this with an exploded nose that looked like a lump of putty. Missed the match? Well now you can watch the breaking moment on repeat right here:

Or if you’d rather see a nice clear photo of the aftermath – you can check out this picture on Twitter:

From the looks of that picture – you’d think he just came out of a boxing or MMA match rather than the entertainment Wrestling we’ve all come to know and watch over the years. But John Cena has always had the “never give up” mentality and we can’t help but feel motivated from his bad ass fight yesterday. Just like the song from Generation Iron – John Cena is “Never Gonna Stop.” And we couldn’t be happier about that.
