Below is what WWE posted regarding Joe’s injury:
“During his match, Samoa Joe felt a pop at the bottom of his right foot,” explained WWE Senior Ringside Physician Dr. Chris Amann. “We took a look and believe he has a plantar fascia rupture, which is a thick tissue rupture under the foot. We will get an MRI to confirm. Treatment includes a period of immobilization in a boot with crutches and platelet rich plasma injections.”
Speaking of Samoa Joe, he’s going to be joining the cast of Transformers animated series. Below is what he tweeted:
Very happy to announce I am joining the cast of the new Transformers animated series. #PredaKingLives #transformers https://t.co/HCP5yxoQkk
