Although it seems as if WWE is trying to downplay the Achilles injury Xavier Woods reportedly suffered during a live event in Australia, the latest backstage updates suggest that the New Day member is more seriously hurt than what has been claimed by the company.
As recalled by WrestlingNews.co, Woods went down with the apparent injury at a house show in Sydney, Australia, on Sunday night, as he “collapsed” in the ring while running the ropes. This prompted the referee to break from the script and make an “X” gesture, signaling that Woods was legitimately injured. The longtime SmackDown star was then helped to the back, as a subsequent report published by WWE claimed that he had suffered an Achilles injury, with no specific mention of a tear. It was also noted that Woods will have to miss the rest of WWE’s Australian tour.
