It Can Happen To Anyone: Samoa Joe Injured During Monday Night Raw, Match Changed On The Fly

Even on live television. A wrestler never knows when an injury is going to happen. There are all kinds of ways a wrestler can get hurt and that is one of the inherent dangers of the sport. Since wrestlers are getting in there and getting physical with each other, there is always the chance that someone is going to get hurt. It can happen at any time, especially during a match.

One of the biggest stories taking place on Monday Night Raw at the moment is Seth Rollins and his army against Kevin Owens and Samoa Joe. The two of them are not happy with Rollins trying to take over the show and are doing something about it. That includes going after Rollins and Buddy Murphy’s Raw Tag Team Titles, but things did not go so well during this week’s show.

During this week’s Monday Night Raw, Samoa Joe and Owens challenged Rollins and Murphy for the Tag Team Titles. Samoa Joe hit Murphy with a suicide dive but landed hard on the floor where he was holding his head. After a commercial break, Samoa Joe had been removed from the back, leaving Owens to lose in a handicap match. According to PWInsider.com, the injured was legitimate and it is not clear how severe Samoa Joe’s condition is. This comes less than a month after he returned from time off due to a broken thumb.

That was a heck of a crash. Check out some more of the brawling between these teams:

Opinion: I’m a little scared by something like this as you never know what can be wrong when someone is grabbing their head. That’s the kind of thing that you have to be careful about because you never know how long someone is going to be out. Hopefully this isn’t anything serious, because Samoa Joe is someone who just can’t seem to stay healthy no matter what he does.

What do you see Samoa Joe doing next? Will he ever be World Champion? Let us know in the comments below.
