WWE Injury Report Thread

[R-Troop]

This thread is going to be used to keep everyone informed as to Superstar injuries. When it happens, who is unavailable, and when people can come back.

I plan on keeping the OP updated as people return and people go down.

I wondered why Theory wasn't on TV but waller was . Hopefully when he's free of injury he can turn face and show why the old man was keen on him as he's a great talent.

Ilja is fantastic his matches v Gunther got me watching nxt full time. I'd love for them to go back and feud infront of a live crowd as one of their matches wasn't and it was the best feud of the covid era in wwe.


Apollo crews ? Thought he'd been released. Rizzo is the biggest what if as shes great on the mic but I've not seen her wrestle before .

 

[Tremendez]

This is a phenomenal idea. You're really hitting the ground running, I love it.

Apollo is injured and not just sitting in catering ? Shocker.

Damn, I was afraid Ilja got injured in his return match for a second.
