As we broke last night here on PWInsider.com, Samoa Joe suffered a knee injury over the weekend at the WWE live events, which is why his planned match against John Cena did not take place on Raw. The word is here will be out in the area of 4 weeks or so.
There have been reports that Xavier Woods may have also suffered a knee injury last night at the WWE live event in Texarkana, Arkansas. We are looking into confirming what the case is there.
Also, there have been some readers who misinterpreted an Instagram post Maria Kanellis made yesterday about her husband's Mike Bennett's recovery from a painkiller addiction with some photos. In the posting, it was noted that he is now 45 days recovered from the addiction, but some miscontrued the photos to mean he was currently in a rehab facility. That is not the case and the couple are actually currently on the road with the Smackdown brand.
