John Cena told news last night that he is thankful for fan support following his arm surgery. Cena had been battling bone chips in his right elbow. On Tuesday, Cena confirmed to WWE that the chips had been recently detected in his elbow.

But officials told Cena that he could remove the bone cartilage with the use of a scope procedure. Cena’s physician Dr Andrews issued a news statement to WWE last night indicating that he performed an arthroscopic procedure on Cena Tuesday afternoon. The purpose of the procedure was to correct Cena’s elbow that been “locking up” and causing the wrestler to have limited range of movement. Upon investigation, Dr. Andrews determined that the culprit were bone spurs.

While Cena is now undergoing physical therapy rehab, Dr. Andrews tells news that the procedure was “straight-forward”, that it went “really well” and that Cena’s arm will be back to normal.

Cena issued a news statement on Twitter praising his doctors. He also advised fans “U guys have my word, I will do whatever I can to be active ASAP.” He called Andrews a “super surgeon” and said that he was anxious to get back into the ring. “Really means alot to me and I just want to say thanks” he said to fans last night.

While Cena did not address directly the false reports of his death, he said that negatively won’t ever hold him down. He tells news that he rises above hate every day. “Because of who I have become, I daily deal with large doses of negativity. No biggie, always #riseabovehate but seeing all your messages.”

Dr Andrews told news that Cena will be in rehab next week. When will Cena be back in the ring? Andrews says that remains to be seen. But he expects the rehab to last roughly two to three weeks. The purpose will to be to restore the range of motion previously blocked by the bone chips, decrease swelling, and reorient the elbow.

Online, while some fans were sending wishes to Cena, others were falsely reporting Cena as dead. He battled the same in 2011. “CeNation. Apparently last night I was shot dead by a group of thugs. I also was apparently owned by the Rock”, he told news at the time.

In August and earlier this month, Cena battled two death reports from Global Associated aka MediaFetcher. The first claimed that fell to his death today in New Zealand. The fabricated tale claims that Cena plummeted to his death during a purported hike of the Kauri Cliffs.

The second claimed that the wrestler died in a plane crash at the fictitious Denver Peak Regional Airport today. The same false report has been used against Johnny Depp, Miley Cyrus, and others. “Musician, Miley Cyrus was believed to have been a passenger on the flight” read the false report as to Cyrus.

John Cena isn’t dead. The Undertaker hasn’t died. And the Rock hasn’t been snowboarding with Adam Sandler in Zermatt either.

The first four fabricated Cena reports are from Global Associated / MediaFetcher. First, Global claims that Cena died after flipping a car on Route 80. Cena wasn’t traveling on Route 80 today, he didn’t flip his car, and the purported “Local Team News 9″ listed in that report is also fabricated.

Second, John Cena isn’t filming a movie in New Zealand today. But a false Global report claims that Cena “fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set”.

Third, Cena wants flying to Denver Peak-Regional Airport today. In fact, no one has ever flown to Denver Peak-Regional Airport because it doesn’t exist. But Global claims that Cena crashed into the “airport” Saturday.

And finally, Cena is not inside of Golden State Regional Hospital Saturday. There is no such facility by the name of “Golden State Regional Hospital”. But that’s where Global claims Cena went Saturday.

In March 2011, Cena battled fake death tales. He told news at the time “CeNation. Apparently last night I was shot dead by a group of thugs. I also was apparently owned by the Rock. Both just internet rumor. ” In June this year, Cena battled the same fake tales.

But following the recent false Undertaker death reports (here), wrestling fans are perplexed why fabricated death stories continue to strike their stars this month.

Global’s second fabricated death report for Cena concerns a different country. Global is erroneously claiming today that John Cena died in a plane crash at the fictitious Denver Peak Regional Airport today. “Reported by Denver Peak-Regional Airport traffic control moments ago, a small private aircraft in distress ceased radio contact with the control tower and fell below radar frequency after reporting engine trouble and smoke in the cockpit” claims the erroneous report.

The same fabricated “Denver Peak” story has been used before by Global against Chingy, Celine Dion, Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg. In fall 2011, LALATE noted that “fortunately for Snoop and his fans, there is no such airport.”

The Kauri Cliffs tale, in turn, has been used previously by Global against Jack Black, Criss Angel, and Will Smith. The false Global report each time reads the same. “Preliminary reports from New Zealand Police officials indicate that the actor fell more than 60 feet to his death on the Kauri Cliffs while on-set. Specific details are not yet available. The accident occurred at approximately 4:30 a.m.”

Actor Mickey Rourke has also not died. While the cause of the confusion about Rourke remains unknown, Miki Roqué, the Spanish soccer star, died on Sunday. Miki Roqué died at age 23 after a battle with cancer. He most recently played for Betis.
