Big Cass Out Until 2018

As we saw on last night’s RAW, Big Cass suffered a legit injury during his match with Enzo Amore. Cass took a bad fall over the top rope and landed awkwardly, leading to the match to be stopped. He was set for an MRI today, and WWE has updated his status.

“It looks like he has an ACL tear, possibly a medial meniscus tear, but we’re going to wait for the radiologist to evaluate the MRI and give us their full report,” WWE ringside physician Dr. Chris Robinson said.

“A typical ACL tear takes about nine months [to recover from],” Robinson said.

Here’s hoping Cass has a full and speedy recovery.

Tonight’s SmackDown Live saw the main roster debut of Bobby Roode. The Glorious One his first match with Aiden English, dispatching him with ease.

Tonight’s show also saw the return of former Intercontinental Champion Shelton Benjamin. Benjamin, who was supposed to return to WWE last year but didn’t due to having to undergo shoulder surgery, made his return during a backstage segment with Daniel Bryan and Chad Gable. It looks like Benjamin’s first role on the blue brand will be as Gable’s tag team partner.
