– Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Oney Lorcan suffered a broken right orbital bone in the tag match at the NXT Takeover: Chicago event during the tag team title match.
Oney will be undergoing surgery, which will take him out for an undetermined amount of time. (Probably a few months)
– Last week we wrote about Jeff Hardy’s nerve injury. Dave Meltzer reported this week that Hardy also has a leg injury. That would explain why he has been limping during his matches at the live events and would also explain why they have been protecting him by putting him in short multi-man matches. As noted earlier this week, Hardy has not been doing the Swanton Bomb at some of the recent shows.
The leg injury happened during his ring entrance on 5/17 during a dark match after the Smackdown/205 Live tapings.
Meltzer also noted that the nerve injury has caused numbness in his fingers. That sounds a lot like what Jason Jordan was dealing with before it was decided that he would need to be pulled off the road so he could get surgery.
At this point, we don’t know the severity of the leg and nerve issues but it would not surprise me if he dropped the United States Championship soon so he could take time off.
