It looks like another top Raw talent may have suffered an injury. Jason Jordan did not work any of the live events over the past weekend due to an alleged injury. He was scheduled to team up with Seth Rollins on the live events, but he was replaced by Roman Reigns instead. PWInsider has reported that Jordan is definitely injured, but few details about the injury were provided. Jason Jordan and Seth Rollins are currently the Raw Tag Team Champions. Jordan was selected as Rollins’ partner after Dean Ambrose, his original partner, received an injury of his own. As of now, Rollins and Jordan are still being advertised to defend the titles against The Bar at the Royal Rumble.
During the TV tapings for Impact Wrestling this week, top stars Ethan Carter III and Bobby Lashley both seemed to exit the company. Both men have been rumored to leave the promotion very soon due to the company’s recent decision to cut names commanding huge contracts. Pro Wrestling Sheet has reported that that both men were written off of TV during the tapings just in case a deal is not made for either of them to return. The report mentioned that Lashley’s current deal with the company expires in April. There is reportedly interest from WWE in acquiring both of the now former Impact Wrestling stars. Stay tuned for the latest updates on EC3 and Bobby Lashley.
Neville has not been seen or heard from ever since he decided to leave WWE behind in favor of going back out on the independent circuit. The former Cruiserweight Champion still has yet to be released from the company, and talks between the two sides were reportedly ongoing at one point. More recent reports have claimed that those talks have broken down and Neville will not be returning to the company after all. In response to a fan asking about the matter on Twitter, the Wrestling Observer’s Dave Meltzer updated the story by claiming that Neville will likely be waiting until his current WWE contract expires before he starts wrestling again.
He’s not talking, he’s either sitting out his contract or they’ll make a deal with him to return. https://t.co/O61XquTs81
