I fully expect him to be in Hogan shape by the time he's 45. I admire his dedication, but Jeebus, how many parts have been surgically repaired at this point? You keep rushing back, "healing powers" or not, and the part is weaker than it would be if you took the time.
But, WWE "needs" him since they sacrifice anyone they build to make him or someone else established "look strong", meaning they have no reserves in the well.

I thought the point of him working SmackDown with the WHC was to give him a lighter workload. Just let him piss off with the title like Rock did with the WWE Title, quietly acknowledge him as "The Final World Heavyweight Champion, and start having all those directionless uppercarders focus on the WWE and IC Titles. Let him come back without the WHC.

John Cena's Make A Wish appearances are going to be even more inspirational in a few years when he's a crippled, one-armed man who nonetheless reguarly overcomes adversity and wins wrestling championships.

I have no idea why they would insist on having him do full length matches on house shows, even on the bigger house shows like the Europe tours. As others have said, throw him in a quick squash match or just have him wrestle in nothing but 6-man tags where he can do a couple of minutes of in-ring stuff and let everybody else in the match carry the workload. It's getting to where I think he's strong-arming WWE into being allowed to go out there, rather than the other way around. They know their business model's strong enough to where they don't need him every night. They'd ideally like having him there as much as possible, but he's probably the one that keeps showing up and saying "trust me, I got this".

The quarterback who says "I'm fine, really" after a concussion or getting his arm blasted in a hit. He lets his pride over rule his sense. Somebody needs to be a half-way decent coach and, if he gets the arm hurt again (second time he's had surgery on it, isn't it) they tell him to sit his dumb ass down and heal, for the full period. No short cuts, no two a day therapy sessions to "fix it quicker" (it only increases the chance of reinjury if you over work a repaired muscle, I know, I did it to my shoulder). Hell, bring back the "cards and letters" gimmick, let Cena correspond with the kiddies. It'd pretty much cement his legacy with that age group, and since I'm pretty sure he'd do the corresponding instead of some staffer (he just seems like that kind of guy) it'd be a damn classy move. My timeline is 6 months and he'll re-injure the arm. Not hoping for it, I know how much that shit hurts, but if you don't do your damn rehab, and the muscle has already been repaired before, you're setting yourself up for it.

He's a tough son of a gun.
Probably isn't wise in the long run, but I do think he's tougher than most tough guys.

Cena's selfishness is hilariously ruinous.
You're destroying your body and your very presence makes WWE refuse to push ANYONE as being your equal no matter what reactions they're getting or whatever else they're doing. It's got to be all about you, you, you. Go away for six months. Mentioning injured QBs, it's just like Robert Griffin III telling coach Shanahan he was ok to go out there in the playoff last year despite walking with a limp, and the fool gets badly injured and the team was without their starting QB. If you REALLY want to help your team, you damn glory hog, don't get yourself hurt.
And that's how I feel toward Cena too.

The fact that he's holding the pointless World Heavyweight Title and working on the B-show proves that he's NOT trying to make it about him. Simply by being on SmackDown with the B-title means that he IS bowing out of the spotlight, otherwise he'd be in the main storyline on RAW going after the WWE Title, but he's making room for others. It's not his fault that WWE STILL isn't pushing new talents or putting other underutilized guys on TV, even WHEN he was gone. That's the company's oversight.

I've been saying for the past couple years, PUT HIM IN A TAG TEAM!!
The Mega Broskis would have been great, back when the tag titles were shit.

I fear for his future. Just go home and heal. I know WWE wants him on shows and tours and he definitely wants to be on them as well, but eventually someone has to think about his long term health.

Doesn't help matters that this injured arm is the focus of pretty much everyone's attacks, meaning that it's taking more of a beating, damaging it even more.

It also doesn't help matters when WWE admittingly says that Summerslam and the subsequent PPVs is NOT where they should have taken the product, which again puts Cena in a bad place.
He reminds me of a guy who loves his family and works desperately to provide for that family, despite the family continually making mistake after mistake and constantly looking to him to fix everything.
Just because his initials are JC, doesn't mean he's a f***in' miracle worker.

Cena may not care about his body but I hope he realizes that if his elbow gives out in the middle of a maneuver he may seriously injure someone else.

At this point, he can count on being in a wheelchair sooner rather than later. The guy is consistently plagued with injuries, it seems.
