Bray Wyatt SmackDown Injury Confirmed, Backstage Updates On Paige And Jimmy Uso Being Out Of Action
As noted, Bray Wyatt rolled his ankle during Tuesday's WWE SmackDown main event but finished the match. After the injury, the referee threw up the dreaded "X" symbol but Wyatt clearly didn't want to stop and didn't want help from trainers.
Dave Meltzer confirmed on wrestling Observer Radio that Wyatt sprained his ankle. Wyatt was still planning on working weekend WWE live events as of Wednesday morning. If he does miss this weekend's matches, that could indicate that the injury is serious as he was intent on wrestling this weekend. Meltzer also confirmed that WWE wanted Wyatt to stop the match on Tuesday night but he refused.
Regarding Paige's injury that has her off the upcoming tour of Australia and New Zealand, word is that she's dealing with back and shoulder injuries. She's expected to be out of action for at least two more weeks, possibly longer. Meltzer also noted that her injuries aren't believed to be too serious.
We also noted before that Jimmy Uso was out of action with an unknown injury. He was expected to be back in action this past Tuesday night but that did not happen. No word yet on when he will be back.
