Newly crowned WWE World Heavyweight Champion John Cena is back in action and ready to defend the title against old foe and former champ, Alberto Del Rio, this Sunday (November 24) at Survivor Series.

As the Mexican challenger, Del Rio exclusively told MTV News UK this week that he plans to "kick John Cena's ass".

He went on to claim that Cena is like a "wounded animal" and "not ready" to compete.

Cena was sidelined in the summer with a serious elbow injury with many expecting him to be out of action for six months.

The 'real life Superman' unexpectedly returned to the ring after just a two month hiatus and dethroned Del Rio as champ at last month's Hell in a Cell event.
