Last night’s WWE Royal Rumble PPV was full of many memorable moments, but there were two particular stars who seemed to have an extremely rough night during this year’s edition of WWE’s January extravaganza.

In her match against SmackDown Women’s Champion Sasha Banks, Carmella had an extremely nasty landing when diving out of the ring onto the Boss. ‘Mella would then follow that up with a very brief appearance in the women’s Rumble contest later in the night, leading to further speculation that she was hurt.

Likewise, his Last Man Standing bout against Universal Champion Roman Reigns saw Kevin Owens take some gnarly-looking bumps as he came up short against the High Chief.

With many wondering whether or not Carmella and Owens were injury from their Royal Rumble antics, a new Fightful Select report claims that the two performers are thankfully fine.

Both Carmella and Kevin Owens are SmackDown talents, so they’ll at least have a few days to rest and heal up before the blue brand’s next outing on Friday.

Here's hoping Carmella and and KO are both back in action and fighting fit for this week's SmackDown.
