Problem is wwe caves in every time Cena wants to come back early. He was supposed to gone 4-6 months with his elbow but he was gone less than 2. To me that really shows a lack of understanding from both wwe and Cena as he is not the hot property he was years ago, taking time off is good for the character never mind the person. Look how it worked for HBK - people were always jacked when he came back. I can't see it happening for long - maybe miss a couple Raws but that's about it.
I realize and appreciate other people taking care of most of the idiocy in this thread, but this little gem seems to have gone unnoticed so far so I wanted to address it.
Please elaborate. I'd love to hear the details of the conversations between Cena and the WWE when "Cena wants to come back early" and the "WWE caves" as you put it. How, exactly, does that work? I'd love to see what first hand information you have that tells you A)He is coming back early, B)It's his idea, and C)The WWE doesn't want him to. Or second, or third hand information, for that matter. That should be a hoot. Even if we take the early return thing at face value, and assume they are telling the truth when they say how long people will be out(even though there's no reason for them to), has there ever been even a half assed moronic dirt sheet report that Cena made the WWE take him back before they wanted to? How is that any more likely, not that either is very likely, than WWE forcing him to come back and him caving?
So now that we've established you have no idea of the circumstances behind his returns from injury, let's also go ahead and establish that WWE and Cena have a much, much, MUCH better understanding of how hot a property he is. Aside from the fact that they're obviously experts in that area and you're just some random schmoe on the Internet spewing nonsense, they also have access to a lot of information you don't. People know have information and know how to interpret it and make good decisions > people who don't and don't.
Now, I'll let the "good for his character" comment slide, you're entitled to your opinion. Although it is worth pointing out time off is pretty meaningless for characters if it's not used properly. In either case, I'm not sure what makes you think you know what's good for Cena the person better than he does. Not everybody benefits from time off, on a personal level.
Anywho, back to the OP, let's take a look at the movie. It's a Judd Apatow movie called Trainwreck that stars Amy Schumer along with Brie Larson, Bill Hader, and Colin Quinn. While Cena's role hasn't been confirmed, I think it's safe to say he's not going to have a major part. So he's probably not going to need to take any time off to film it, beyond missing a house show or two.
