It’s been a rough week for injuries in WWE. Last week on RAW, Big Cass tore his ACL in the Brooklyn Street Fight against Enzo Amore. Cass underwent knee surgery on Thursday and is expected to be out of action until early 2018.

On Monday night, Xavier Woods appeared to injure his knee at a SmackDown live event from Texarkana, Arkansas.

Samoa Joe is the latest Superstar with a knee injury. As noted on Monday afternoon, the plan was for Joe to wrestle John Cena on RAW. That match obviously didn’t happen and the word going around backstage is that Joe tweaked his knee on Saturday during a match against John Cena in Jonesboro, Arkansas.

Joe was advertised to wrestle Cena again at Sunday’s live event from Tupelo, Mississippi but was replaced by Bray Wyatt. According to PWInsider, Joe will be out of action for at least four weeks.

Woods was involved in a tag team match with Kofi Kinston against The Usos and he suffered the injury when he was performing a jumping DDT during the closing moments of the bout.

At that time it was not known how severe the damage was and how long it could keep him out of action, though now the SmackDown Star has revealed the details on his injury.

Xavier recently posted a video from his Youtube Channel UpUpDownDown in which he is seen playing Wind Jammers with Becky Lynch and Renee Young.

During the video, he also talked about his injury and revealed that he has an MCL sprain. Upon hearing this Becky said that she suffered a similar injury recently and it shouldn’t take a long time to heal, as noted by Wrestlinginc.

While Woods didn’t disclose whether it’s a grade-1 or grade-2 injury, grade-2 which is more severe of the two takes about 2 to 4 weeks to heal so he is not expected to stay out of action for very long.

You can watch the video posted by Xavier Woods below, his comments about the injury come around the 9-minute mark:
