Roman Reigns injury update.
Added 2023-08-08 17:28:57 +0000 UTCRoman Reigns did get hurt at WWE Summerslam.
Tuesday morning, Wrestling Observer reported that Roman Reigns got hurt early in the match with Jey Uso at WWE Summerslam. Fightful Select has since confirmed that news. However, he is still planned for WWE Smackdown this Friday.
After Summerslam, word came out that Reigns was not advertised for any WWE TV episodes over the next few months. However, we did confirm that Reigns was planned for this Friday's Smackdown, and as of now, there aren't plans for him to miss his internally scheduled appearances. That could always change.
WWE hasn't responded to our official inquiries regarding Reigns, but we've heard the same that Observer did about it happening early on. There were those who would likely be in the know in a creative capacity for Smackdown who hadn't even heard about the injury until word emerged Tuesday. We're told that as of Tuesday afternoon, it hadn't changed creative.
Fightful will work to learn more details on the injury as we can.

It’s just gonna hurt like a son of a bitch for a bit as someone who has had a rib injury before

2023-08-08 23:54:24 +0000 UTCIt looked like a rib injury, so I don't think it's a lengthy recovery for him. So that shouldn't really affect his appearance schedule, since I don't think he's having another match until Survivor Series anyway.

2023-08-08 20:38:09 +0000 UTCI like LA Knight, too but c’mon. How many more babyfaces have to die?!

2023-08-08 20:00:12 +0000 UTCI feel like if anyone beats him this year… it’s what everybody is saying… YEAH

2023-08-08 19:29:41 +0000 UTCIf you’re Roman and you were to get injured now is the time. Allow him to take a step back while the focus can be on Jimmy and Jey.

2023-08-08 18:08:23 +0000 UTCThis is a time his schedule helps a lot if it is more than a minor thing. Like I wasn’t expecting him to be on at all until maybe Survivor Series if it’s WarGames again

2023-08-08 17:56:02 +0000 UTCI am only slightly invested compared to some as I don’t get chance to watch WWE but him having to vacate would be a terrible outcome to an epic story.

2023-08-08 17:53:23 +0000 UTCI hope it’s not serious. I know fans aren’t owed anything but we’re owed the earth-shaking pop when Roman loses the title.

2023-08-08 17:36:42 +0000 UTCBoy the mixed emotions we’d be seeing if he has to forfeit the belt.
