New reports from Dave Meltzer of F4Wonline.com have provided further details concerning Tyson Kidd’s recent injury that he suffered on June 1. As previously noted, Kidd appeared to be hurt during the finish of his “Superstars” bout with Samoa Joe that was taped prior to the June 1 edition of “Monday Night Raw” in San Antonio, Texas.
According to fan reports, Kidd was in apparent pain during the closing of the match, so much so that the official threw up the dreaded “x” sign to bring out medics. Cesaro also joined the team in assisting his tag team partner to the back.
Meltzer claims that Kidd suffered some sort of spinal cord injury. He also goes into detail about why no news or statement regarding the injury has been released from WWE. He writes,
“Kidd was injured in the match. According to one WWE performer, he suffered a spinal cord injury. He was receiving medical attention after the match was over. WWE’s new policy seems to be to attempt to keep all injuries secretive, so there are no official details at press time and it appears to be another injury that nobody is supposed to talk about.
Kidd & Cesaro were removed from being booked at the tapings the next night although both were in Houston. The only thing I know is that Kidd expects to be able to make a full recovery from the injury, and he is hoping to be able to avoid surgery. Because of that, we don’t know of any timetable.”
KiddSaro, as we affectionately call the duo, are slated to face off against The New Day for the WWE Tag Team Championship on July 4 during a Live Event taking place in Japan, which will air at 6:30 a.m. EST on the WWE Network. Outside of this date, the #BTE (Best Team Ever) have been removed from all further dates.
Natalya posted a photo of herself with Cesaro and her husband Kidd on Instagram on July 3 with the caption referring to the trio dealing with an issue, and that appears to be Kidd’s injury. She also Tweeted a “thank you” message to all who have reached out to them during this time.
Grateful for everyone who has reached out, offered support & checked in on us daily. @kiddwwe is teaching me how to unlock my mutant powers????
