SAMOA JOE INJURED

Kurt Angle announced that Samoa Joe had won the fan voting to team with Bayley in the Mixed Match Challenge but "due to an injury" on Raw, Joe would be unavailable, therefore Elias will be teaming with Bayley.

While we are uncertain of the nature of the injury at this time, WWE sources have confirmed this is not a work and Joe is legitimately injured. We are working on confirming additional details, but this is horrible timing as Joe's work has been absolutely fantastic of late.

In happier Samoa Joe news, he announced he has joined the voice cast of the new Transformers animated series:

Very happy to announce I am joining the cast of the new Transformers animated series. #PredaKingLives #transformers https://t.co/HCP5yxoQkk — Samoa Joe (@SamoaJoe) January 9, 2018
