WWE Provides Injury Updates On SmackDown Stars

WWE has taken to its website to provide updates on injuries sustained by two SmackDown stars during last night’s episode of the show.

Sasha Banks and Big E both suffered storyline injuries last night at the hands of Bayley and Sheamus respectively.

Bayley attacked Banks after the duo had lost a Women’s Tag Team Championship match against Nia Jax & Shayna Baszler on SmackDown. WWE.com writes:

The Boss seemingly sustained a knee injury after crashing into the ring post during the WWE Women’s Tag Team Title Match, then being on the receiving end of Shayna Baszler’s relentless offense. But the worst was yet to come for Banks. After she refused medical attention, Banks was brutally attacked by her partner and best friend, Bayley, who culminating the assault by wrapping a steel chair around Banks’ neck and jumping off the second rope to stomp on it. Banks was taken from the WWE ThunderDome in an ambulance. WWE.com can confirm that Banks was taken to a local medical facility and is being evaluated.

Big E, on the other hand, was set for a four-way #1 contender match with Sheamus, Matt Riddle and King Corbin, but Sheamus attacked him in the parking lot and he was taken out of the match. WWE.com writes:

Big E was initially scheduled to take part in the Fatal 4-Way to determine who will challenge Universal Champion Roman Reigns at WWE Clash of Champions. However, Sheamus ambushed Big E prior to the match, driving him through the windshield of a car with White Noise. Big E suffered lacerations as a result of the attack. He was taken to a local medical facility, where he is undergoing a battery of tests.

Big E was replaced in that match by Jey Uso who won and will challenge Roman Reigns for the Universal Title at Clash of Champions later this month.
