Mike Johnson of PW Insider reports that WWE executive vice president of talent Triple H was heading immediately to Birmingham, Alabama to deal with his right pectoral muscle tear. According to Johnson,
“We have heard from several WWE sources that Triple H is heading directly to Birmingham, Alabama to get what is believed to have been a right pectoral muscle tear officially diagnosed and if needed, undergo immediate surgery.If surgery is necessary, he could be out for months from in-ring competition.”
Triple H suffered the injury during yesterday’s Crown Jewel main event where he teamed up with returning WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels to defeat Kane & The Undertaker.
Johnson also reports that after missing the Saudi Arabian Crown Jewel show, SmackDown Superstar Daniel Bryan is set to rejoin the WWE on their European tour,
“Daniel Bryan has flown to Europe and will join WWE today for their live event tour across that continent.”
The Wrestling Observer Newsletter recently gave insight into Bryan’s reasoning for not attending the highly controversial Saudi Arabian Crown Jewel show,
“Evidently Bryan, who knew little or nothing about Saudi Arabia until he got there, largely felt he couldn’t go back under those circumstances. It wasn’t so much that the women weren’t allowed to perform, even though he’s married to a woman wrestler and has a sister-in-law who wrestles. But the key was what he learned about the treatment of homosexuals, and also, that they wouldn’t allow Sami Zayn to perform on the show, and he considered that racism. It was not the current controversy over Khashoggi that evidently made him make his decision, although one would think it made him feel more strongly that his decision wasn’t wrong.”
