WHY CURTIS AXEL IS OFF WWE HELL IN A CELL

In speaking to a few people backstage, I was told Curtis Axel suffered a hip flexor injury on Raw. The company wasn't sure what his diagnosis would be until Friday, which is why nothing was announced until today.

There were a lot of people who were down that he was hurt since he's popular among the wrestlers and is seen as someone who works hard in the ring and has done whatever the company has asked of him since debuting on the main roster.

There's no word on how long Axel will be out and no one I spoke to knew what it meant, if anything, for the Intercontinental championship.
