WWE announced after RAW that Kevin Owens suffered injuries to both knees during the heel turn attack from Bobby Lashley.

John Pollock reports that the injury angle was done on RAW to explain Owens’ needing legitimate time off for knee surgery.

The hope is that the knee surgery is a minor procedure but they won’t know the severity of the injury until the knee is assessed. There’s a possibility that the injury is serious and then Owens would need more time to recover.

Due to his knee injury and surgery, Kevin Owens has been pulled from the Mixed Match Challenge

Stay tuned for updates on Owens’ status.

Kenny Omega Is Toughing Out A Fractured Rib

kenny omega injured rib

IWGP Heavyweight champ Kenny Omega has revealed he’s currently suffering from a fractured rib … but the wrestler says he won’t be taking time off because he doesn’t want to disrespect the title.

Kenny talked about his injury situation while streaming a Mario Party session on Being the Elite‘s Twitch feed. Omega explained, “The foot is doing much better, it is my rib that is fractured right now.”

Adding, “My ribs are in a bad way, but what can you do … right? I’m not one of those guys that likes to try to brag. Like, ‘Hey, look. I’m injured and I’m so tough I’m gonna keep fighting.’ It’s not like that at all. It’s just you gotta do what you gotta do.”

The wrestler finished this portion of the conversation saying, “You just gotta go when you’re the champ, ya know? You can’t disrespect the belt. You can’t take days off.”

Kenny is scheduled to wrestle next month in a tag match with Kota Ibushi at Power Struggle.

Paige To Alberto El Patron: “Don’t Make Fun Of Someone With Mental Health Issues” (AUDIO)

WWE star Paige has responded to former fiancé Alberto El Patron taking a shot at her mental health last month on social media, saying his comments hurt her feelings.

The SD Live GM made the comments during an interview with Lilian Garcia on the latest episode of “Chasing Glory.” During the conversation, Garcia brought up the post in which Del Rio compared his current girlfriend to Paige and said this one hasn’t been “committed in 2 mental hospitals.”

“Don’t make fun of someone who has mental health issues,” Paige said. “Because he knew at that point how depressed and how, like I was on rock bottom, and how I wanted to kill myself. He knew all that stuff. So to throw that out there like that — it’s pretty mean.”

Paige has gone on record about the dark spell she experienced after her XXX footage leaked online. That was followed by a tumultuous break-up with Del Rio that included a handful of incidents where police were called. The couple was engaged to be married but separated in 2017.

“I thought over a year of us not being together, I never expected him to bring me up again. So, I was just like, I’m not even going to respond to that right now,” she added.

Paige also says she didn’t immediately respond because she didn’t want Del Rio to know it hurt her.

“You don’t talk like that about a women — especially on the Internet for everyone to see. Just keep your mouth shut,” she told Garcia. “If you don’t like me, that’s fine. We haven’t had any contact for over a year. It baffles me.”

She went on to say she’s in a good place now and the happiest she’s been in quite sometime. Paige said she’s enjoyed using her personal experience to help other women who are struggling.

Paige also talks about her in-ring career ending during the full interview and so much more.

Gedo with the slight distraction on Okada, White attacks, but gets sent out of the ring. Gedo with a weak hit to the back, Okada blasts him with some punches. Crowd is loving this. Jado gets in the ring now to calm things down. Bullet Club OGs are headed to the ring, they all point at Okada, but grab Gedo and Jado. BC OGs want him to pick one, but as Okada goes to hit Gedo, Tama hits a gun stun on Okada. Gedo then stomps away on Okada along with the rest of the group.

He sits down and encourages Ibushi to stand up. Omega asked the crowd if they enjoyed the triple threat title match (a rarity for this title). He thanks the fans, hugs Ibushi, hugs Cody and says he loves Cody’s dog. As Omega signs off, out from the back comes Hiroshi Tanahashi with his Tokoyo Dome briefcase. Omega says we’re both tired, but if he wants to say something, say it right now. Tanahashi takes the mic, says they may have some philosophical differences about wrestling, but let’s put it all on the line at Wrestle Kingdom 13 and heads out of the ring. Omega does his “goodbye and good night” sign-off to close out the show. (Transcript from Wrestlinginc.com)
