Nakamura is currently in a program with Jeff Hardy, and was scheduled to challenge him for the United States Championship on Smackdown Live a couple of weeks ago. However, the injury caused him to be pulled from the title match and off of television all together.
Editor’s Opinion:
This is excellent news. While an injury like a dog bite wouldn’t be so bad itself, it could have been worse if he was infected with rabies or something like that. Glad that he is OK and I look forward to seeing him back on television soon!
