Did you know, Roman Reigns was injured while fighting Jey Uso at WWE Summerslam?

Roman Reigns got injured, but the injury will not prevent or postpone any existing WWE/Bloodline plans. Reigns will appear on Friday’s SmackDown for a “Hail To The Chief” segment, purportedly to pull together the frayed aspects of the group following the events of SummerSlam, and the injury should keep him from missing any additional scheduled appearances for the time being.

This is according to Fightful Select, who confirmed the initial information from the Wrestling Observer and stated that;.

“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…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.”

The report added;

“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.”

It has not been formally acknowledged how or where Roman Reigns was injured, but some Twitter sleuths believe it was due to a Uso dive that sent ‘The Tribal Chief’ into the guardrail.

SummerSlam was Reigns’ first defense of his Undisputed WWE Universal Championship since a WrestleMania 39 victory over Cody Rhodes, and he has competed just five times since ‘The Show Of Shows’ on April 2nd.
