.@WWENXT fans attending Live Events in Tampa/Citrus Springs this weekend – Unfortunately, after a sneak attack on Tuesday, I've got a detached retina in my right eye.

Waiting on a treatment plan, but I estimate a 10-14 day recovery time.

Shawn Michaels had recently addressed the absence of Dragunov and Meiko Satomura from WWE television.

Michaels has explained that visa issues and availability had been the root cause of the delays, citing the “big career move” of leaving one country to live in another as an additional contributing factor.

He would also reveal that WWE are waiting on “a long-term commitment from some people.”

WrestleTalk wishes McDonagh well as he recovers from his injury.
