WWE Releases Injury Updates On Otis and Jey Uso Following Last Night’s SmackDown

WWE issued the following press release announcing storyline injury updates on Otis and Jey Uso. Both men took severe beatings on last night’s edition of Friday Night SmackDown, with Otis suffering multiple contusions due to an attack by Uso earlier in the night.

Meanwhile Uso’s injuries, which include a bilateral extremity weakness, came from the main event angle with Kevin Owens. Full details are below.

Following Friday Night SmackDown, WWE Digital has learned the status of two blue brand Superstars.

Otis was evaluated by WWE Medical following Jey Uso’s attack. The evaluation revealed multiple areas of contusions and tenderness of the muscles throughout the thoracic spine region. Examination of the bony regions of the thoracic spine and ribs did not reveal any abnormalities.

Jey Uso was sent to the trainer’s room following his match with Kevin Owens and the ringside physician’s evaluation revealed bilateral upper extremity weakness as a result of stretching of the lower cervical nerve roots from the chair strikes. The belief is that this weakness is temporary and should resolve over the next few days.
