This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw took place from Minneapolis and originally Cody Rhodes, Seth Rollins & Sami Zayn were set to face The Judgment Day in the main event. However, Sami Zayn was pulled from the main event after he was attacked backstage by JD McDonagh which led to Shinsuke Nakamura replacing Zayn.
Fans quickly noticed during the segment that Sami Zayn’s elbow looked swollen, and Dave Meltzer recently confirmed on Wrestling Observer Radio that Sami Zayn is currently dealing with a bursa sac injury.
“That (attack from McDonagh) was a cover for a bursa sac injury. It’s so swollen. He had a golf ball size swell.
“I wonder what they’re gonna do with the tag team titles. Kevin can work, the whole idea was that since they decided not to book him for SummerSlam – if they booked him for SummerSlam, he would have kept working and done SummerSlam.
“But when the decision was made not to put a tag team title match on SummerSlam, they decided to shoot an angle to get him off and get him a little bit of rest. But it was only supposed to be a short period of rest, that’s why they didn’t take the belts off (them) or anything like that.”
