SmackDown Star Expected To Be Out Until January

SmackDown Star Expected To Be Out Until January

A WWE SmackDown star who has been out of action for a number of months has provided an update on his injury and how he suffered it.

Jimmy Uso was in the three-way singles ladder match at WrestleMania for the SmackDown Tag Team Championship, which was won by John Morrison and also included Kofi Kingston.

However, not long into the match, Uso tore his ACL and he’s been on the shelf ever since, with twin brother and tag partner Jey making sporadic appeareances here and there on SmackDown.

Both Usos were recent guests on Table Talk with D-Von Dudley, and discussed how soon they’ll be able to return to action, saying that right now it’s looking like it’ll be January.

Jimmy said:

“Right now, I’m working on this knee injury. I’ve never had any injury in my life, period. Through football, putting my brother through tables, doing all this crazy stuff we’ve done, I’ve never had an injury. To get hurt at WrestleMania this year, I didn’t know what to do. I was sitting there wondering, ‘Do I be mad? Do I be sad and worried?’ You just have to take it one day at a time. Luckily, I have a great family I could go to.

“A lot of the guys that have been hurt, it’s just hard to turn off. It’s hard when you get home. You are moving so much that it’s hard to turn off; it’s just hard. My wife [Naomi] tells me I need to stop worrying and stop watching SmackDown or Raw and just turn it off. So, I’ve been trying to do that and just hang out.

“I don’t like hospitals. I don’t like doctors, I don’t even take medicine. I don’t like any of it, so to sit there and have to go under with the whole gown on having surgery – yeah, I tore the ACL and now we’re looking at January. Hopefully we’re back and ready to roll.”
