Naomi And Jey Uso Both Dealing With Ankle Injuries
Stars last competed on November 22.
According to the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, both Naomi and Jey Uso are currently out of action with ankle injuries. Neither star has wrestled since the November 22 episodes of Smackdown and Main Event.
Naomi's injury seems to be the less serious of the two, as she's expected back in action next week. She already missed a couple of months of action earlier this year with a different ankle injury, which, combined with an injury to Tamina Snuka, put the pair's partnership to an end. She returned to Smackdown following the draft, once again a babyface. Her last bout was a loss to Alexa Bliss on Main Event.
Though there are few details regarding the injury to Jey Uso, Naomi's brother-in-law, videos showed him in a wheelchair at the airport the day after The Usos' tag team turmoil loss to American Alpha. Jey has previously suffered from shoulder problems, including an anterior shoulder dislocation to his left arm that kept him out of action for much of 2014. The tandem had recently turned heel and, after a pair of failed challenges to former Smackdown Tag Team Champions Rhyno and Heath Slater, were expected to begin a feud with American Alpha.
