WWE.com has provided an update on Jey Uso, who has been out of action with a shoulder injury since the WWE Tag Team Championship pre-show match at WrestleMania. According to their report, Jey has undergone surgery to repair injuries suffered in the match, including an anterior shoulder dislocation, and the tightening of his rotator cuff and shoulder capsule. Doctors are estimating the two-time tag champion will be out of action for six months.
It’s unclear if the specific details provided by WWE are legitimate, or just the story they’re running with, but we do know that Jey did have surgery and that the timetable is accurate. The actual injury took place before WrestleMania, and there were discussions taking place all week about how to proceed with the planned championship match. Ultimately he was scripted out of the match when attacked and thrown into the commentary section as soon as the bell rung (although it was likely his brother took the actual bump, and they pulled a switch).
