Raw viewers were robbed of the brand's most consistently enjoyable heel last week, as Samoa Joe was ruled out with a plantar fascia rupture (a foot problem, basically). The recovery period for such injuries can vary greatly. He's just as likely to miss a couple of weeks as he is several months, but Joe and the company currently anticipate that he'll return prior to WrestleMania 34, meaning he may not have to miss the event for the second year running.

Estimated Return: Pre-WrestleMania weekend.
