As to the nature of the injury or its location, Slater has provided no update. We can only speculate that the injury is minor and won’t hamper him his wrestling. It apparently looks like the doctors have cleared him to wrestle again.
Heath Slater has had a great year in WWE after the recent WWE Draft. Though he was not drafted to any of the brands initially, Slater went on a crusade to get a contract on any of the brands.
His tagline "I got kids” became famous soon and he eventually won a contract for the SmackDown Live. Slater also became the first SmackDown Live! Tag Team Champion along with Rhyno during his pursuit for the contract.
Heath Slater is undoubtedly one of the most over babyfaces in WWE right now. His current run in the company has garnered much acclaim. One can only hope that Slater has not injured himself in this critical juncture of his career like Zack Ryder.
