It reads like a work, but WWE should still fire Rowan.

a contusion is a bruise, guys

There is the possibility of ruptured discs and more which is pretty drat bad. Unless it's way worse, I doubt it's career ending but that's a life long\life changing issue depending on how severe the ruptured discs are.

Agreed. And through the Power of Positivity, I look forward to seeing what spots Kofi can come up with involving a dude in a wheelchair.

Actually thinking about it more, did they even stabilize Xavier's neck when they took him away? I'm pretty sure they didn't which is basically the #1 sign that he's fine.

You think we'll ever reach a time when a female star could reach the main title, not the women's title? I know Chyna held the IC belt for a while, but maybe in like 20 years one of Trip's daughters becomes a top heel and gets the belt at Mania 55.

The spinal injury is definitely a work but Xavier had a pretty worrying headsnap when he was power bombed on the steps.

I forgot all about this tweet. Is Rusev still the TV champion? I don't remember. Either way, he's a national treasure and I'm mad he isn't pushed more. I hope if he does get pushed eventually though, we get the return of Putintron.

Well, to be the man, you gotta beat the man, and Rusev has been beaten many times over since then.

Honestly, I really wish WWE didn't do worked injury angles

The more we are aware of the toll and dangers of the profession, the less an injury angle seems like a way to build a story than it is a tone deaf attempt to build drama off the sometimes literal corpses of the business.

Austin drove a truck to the ring and then drank beer.

Jeff will drink the beer and then drive the truck. Through the barricade and over several Make a Wish kids.
