Top WWE Smackdown Star injured

[W-olf]

Mark Henry is believed to have suffered a hyper-extended knee at this past Tuesday's SmackDown taping. The injury looks to have happened when Henry was throwing a punch and his knee moved forward before he had completely planted his foot during a move. The footage will air on Smackdown tonight, but the finish had to be changed due to the injury. Word is that the original plan was for Daniel Bryan to attack Big Show with a chair after Show had Henry down, with Show making the comeback and chokelsamming Bryan. Following that, Henry would have given Bryan the big splash, leaving Bryan laid out and leaving doubt in the minds of the fans that Bryan might not retain Sunday. Nate Taylor has already watched the Australian version of the show, and had the following to report…

"They clearly call an audible as Henry collapses like he's been shot in the thigh and rolls outside and they go to commercial, however the finish (count-out) happens off-camera, with Bryan already attacking Show when they resume with Henry presumably already in the back getting treatment."

Henry has been working hurt for sometime, with a groin injury, and is at this time, expected to work the Rumble.

Jeez WWE, let the big guy rest already, before more damage is done....

Exactly. He was already wrestling with a groin injury and now this. Horrible.

I don't know. Maybe Henry didn't wanna take time off? I'm finding it hard to believe that the WWE knew he had a groin injury and they made him wrestle with it.

I'm going to assume Mark Henry has been pushing to be able to work through his injuries. He knows this is the best run of his career. Taking time off now could result in never getting back to the spot he's in now. I do hope he takes time off after the Royal Rumble though.

He needs to get healthy.

Mark is gonna retire soon. That's what I believe. He's been going for 15 years and he's not exactly in good shape and has had multiple injuries.

Henry just needs to sit back and relax for a while so he can come back and clean house again and hopefully recapture the title.

Wonder how they are going to play out Sunday now....it would be rather stupid to make it work through it because he could get a more serious injury than this, or even hurt someone else if he tries to attempt something and goes down hard.

Not to mention it's a cage match. Who knows what could happen inside there.

What I think is going to happen is Henry will work the Royal Rumble event then take time off.

Sucks royally because he's going to miss WrestleMania.

Deja vu in the WWE... first Bourne gets suspended again now Henry gets injured again? Luckily his match on Sunday is a triple threat so he could be in it with a limited role or I would be fine with them simply finding a way to keep him out of the match honestly. I don't want the guy to get seriously harmed, he just needs to take a bit of time off, it would suck if that caused him to lose a spot as a top guy though.

Edit: It's a cage match? I'm not sure how limited he could be in that, he has to stay inside the ring...
