Sin Cara Suffers Knee Injury

There were reports coming out of Sunday’s SmackDown live event in Spain during the European tour that Sin Cara suffered some sort of knee injury. That appears to be the case, as Sin Cara was pulled from the Monday SmackDown show in Portugal and took to his Twitter account to address the reports.

Por un inconveniente en mi rodilla no pude participar hoy del #WWELisbon. Disculpas a los que asistieron. Espero volver a verlos pronto

— Sin Cara (@SinCaraWWE) November 7, 2017

This roughly translates to Sin Cara saying that due to a knee injury, he was unable to participate in the show at #WWELisbon. He apologizes those who attended the show and hopes he can return soon.

WWE has not issued an formal statement on an injury, but his tweet was retweeted by WWE’s official account.

The New Champs Address The Usos

WWE released a video as part of RAW Fallout on YouTube with Mike Rome interviewing the brand new RAW Tag Team Champions, The Bar (Cesaro and Sheamus).

It’s expected that The Usos vs Cesaro and Sheamus will be officially announced on tonight’s SmackDown Live, and New Day will end up taking on Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, and the returning Roman Reigns.

WWE edited and removed verses from the SmackDown Live “Rap Battle,” including the reference about Xavier Woods’ appearance in a leaked private video. During the July 4th episode of SmackDown Live, rapper Wale hosted a rap battle between The New Day and WWE SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos. The battle surprisingly exceeded expectations and included references about Total Divas, the Usos’ father Rikishi, Roman Reigns, and the leaked video featuring Paige and Woods.

In response to Big E’s battle verses, Jimmy and Jey Uso tag-teamed their response that included the following quip about Woods:

“Hey, Big E, let’s just keep it PG. You know what’s good. Just don’t get all Rated R like your boy, Xavier Woods.”

The Usos’ reference did not fall on deaf ears and triggered a pop among the Phoenix crowd. The verse, however, was removed once the WWE uploaded the rap battle on their YouTube page.

Due to The Usos getting hostile against New Day, Wale disqualified the SmackDown Tag Team Champions and victory went to New Day.

Despite the loss, The Usos had just one word following the rap battle.
