WWE Superstar suffering from injury, works SmackDown

King Barrett set for time off from in-ring action due to nerve damage

One of the notable absences at the WWE TLC PPV was that of King Barrett, who is a part fo the ‘League of Nations’, the dominant faction that had been involved in former WWE World Heavyweight champion Sheamus’s matches the past couple of weeks.

It was strange to see Barrett appear on the kickoff show prior to WWE TLC, but not appear as part of the faction either in the main event of WWE TLC or RAW the next night. Speculation was rife if he had reinjured his shoulder again, which kept him out of action for a bit earlier this year.

However, Barrett has come out and clarified on the status of his physical health, stating he will be taking some time off to rehab nerve damage in his neck. It is to be noted that he termed the injury as ‘nothing major’. Below are the tweets he sent out:

Rehabbing a little nerve damage in my neck at the moment, hence the disappearing act. Nothing major, but not worth taking unnecessary risks.

Thanks for the concern. In the meantime I'll be playing @WWEgames #WWE2K16 live on Twitch tomorrow. Very badly, unfortunately.

One has to believe Barrett when he says it isn’t anything major as he was seen on SmackDown as part of the aforementioned League of Nations, in a segment which did turn somewhat physical.
