On this week’s episode of Talking Smack, Shane McMahon announced that Chad Gable will be out 2-4 weeks with an MCL strain (the ligament on the inside of the knee). Gable and Jordan were attacked by The Usos on this week’s Smackdown Live so the injury is just part of the storyline. McMahon said that American Alpha has been pulled from the Smackdown Tag Team Championship Finals at Backlash and it will be The Usos vs. Hype Bros this Sunday night. The winners of that match will face Heath Slater and Rhyno in the finals.
Here is the updated card for the show:
WWE World Championship
Dean Ambrose (Champion) vs. AJ Styles
Randy Orton vs. Bray Wyatt
Smackdown Women’s Championship Six-Pack Challenge
