Darren Young Suffers Arm Injury At WWE Main Event Tapings
Former WWE Tag Team Champion hurt in bout with Epico.
According to eyewitness reports on social media, Darren Young appeared to suffer an arm injury at Monday's Main Event tapings prior to Raw in Little Rock, Arkansas.
The former WWE Tag Team Champion was in action against Epico of The Shining Stars on the WWE Network show when he suffered what was described as a "nasty fall" on the ring apron. The match had to be stopped immediately, though Young wasn't helped out - he headed to the back with Bob Backlund while clutching his arm.
The past couple of years have been a tumultuous time for Young. In 2015, he and Titus O'Neil reformed their Prime Time Players tag team, and at Money in the Bank that year, they defeated The New Day for the Tag Team Titles. They lost the belts back to The New Day at SummerSlam, and after failing to recapture them, Young and O'Neil decided to focus on their singles careers again.
In 2016, Young was repackaged with Bob Backlund as his manager and seemed to be looking at a babyface push, but after a failed Intercontinental Championship challenge to The Miz and an aborted feud with O'Neil, Young found himself in the undercard once again.
