Injuries have altered some of WWE’s plans going forward, as Braun Strowman was originally set to challenge Brock Lesnar for the Universal Title at Great Balls of Fire, but plans had to be changed after Strowman underwent surgery to repair his injured elbow. Strowman is currently sitting on the sidelines, and now it looks like another star may be taking some time off.
Austin Aries recently appeared on Busted Open to promote his new book “Food Fight: My Plant Based Journey From The Bingo Hall to The Big Time” and Aries confirmed that he’s currently dealing with nagging injuries.
“I’ve got some stuff going on, but just to be fair you could probably say that for a lot of the locker room. It’s kind of part of what we do, I don’t think anyone is ever 100%. So I got a couple things going on and obviously at this point it might be a good time to take a little break which really could consist of two days to just adjust some of those things, try and get my mind and my body right and then come back and figure out what’s gonna be next and what the direction’s gonna be.”
Aries has been a big player in the cruiserweight division, and although he failed to win the Cruiserweight Title when he challenged Neville, the two still managed to put on some great matches.
Hopefully he won’t be gone for long if he does indeed end up taking time off to deal with the injuries.
