Update on Samoa Joe’s Injury From “Raw”

It had been previously reported that Samoa Joe suffered an injury on “Raw” this week, and will be unable to compete in the upcoming “Mixed Match Challenge” as a result.

WWE has released a report explaining what happened to Joe. From the report:

“During his match, [Samoa Joe] felt a pop at the bottom of his [right] foot,” explained WWE Senior Ringside Physician Dr. Chris Amann. “We took a look and believe he has a plantar fascia rupture, which is a thick tissue rupture under the foot. We will get an MRI to confirm. Treatment includes a period of immobilization in a boot with crutches and platelet rich plasma injections.”

It is unknown at this time if he will have to miss any competition, or how this will effect his status going into WrestleMania season.

We will continue to monitor this story and provide any updates as they become available to us.

Editor’s Opinion:

This would be an absolute disaster for both Joe and for WWE. His work as of late his been incredible, and with the company already losing Dean Ambrose for WrestleMania, it would be awful for them to lose another top star on “Raw.”
