Tyson Kidd Was Reportedly Injured During His Match with Samoa Joe

According to fan reports from the June 1 “Monday Night Raw” show in San Antonio, Texas, Tyson Kidd was reportedly injured during his match with Samoa Joe during the “Superstars” tapings. As previously reported, Joe has now signed a full-time contract with WWE, and could make his main roster debut on Friday’s edition of “Superstars.”

The match was a “dark match” prior to “RAW” going live, and many believe that the bout was filmed for the June 5 edition of “Superstars.” Joe would defeat Kidd using the “Muscle Buster” finish, which can be seen here.

According to fans in attendance, it appeared as if Kidd suffered some sort of collar bone or neck injury near the end of the bout. When the match had ended, Natalya reportedly rushed to the back, Kidd’s tag team partner Cesaro got into the ring to check on Kidd, and the official threw up the injury call-sign of an X.

It is said that Kidd was visibly upset leaving the ring, and was nursing his neck area as he went to the back. While Kidd may have just been selling Joe’s finish, an official wouldn’t normally throw up an “X” unless the injury, or threat of an injury, was real, especially during a dark segment.

WrestlingRumors.net will have more on this story as details surrounding Kidd’s health emerge.

Editor’s Note:

Truly a shame if Kidd is hurt. He and Cesaro easily have the best tag team out there aside from The New Day. I love watching them work. If true, this could mean bad things for Joe moving forward as well…as this could be interpreted by Vince McMahon as “his fault.”
