Last week’s episode of Friday Night SmackDown aired live from the Scotiabank Arena in Toronto and the show featured a huge main event which saw CM Punk retain the Undisputed WWE Championship against Kevin Owens after Sami Zayn interfered.
Ahead of SmackDown, WWE taped Main Event and Matt Cardona stepped into the ring to face off against Kit Wilson. It appears that Cardona will be sidelined for the foreseeable future as he recently confirmed that he tore his tricep during the match.
Matt Cardona posted the following on social media:
“I wish my arm was this jacked. Unfortunately, it’s just swollen because I tore my tricep in a match on Friday night. (I still went to the gym today and did legs) I’ll keep you updated. I’M NOT FINISHED.”
