10 WWE Superstars who suffered legitimate injuries in 2018

#9. Tye Dillinger

Tye Dillinger suffered a hand injury back in October

Tye Dillinger was one of the most over WWE superstars throughout his time in NXT since he worked hard to get his "Perfect 10" gimmick over with the crowd. He later entered The Royal Rumble at number 10 which pushed his entire character even further forward, but WWE has failed to equalize on it since.

Like many call-ups from NXT including Tyler Breeze, Sanity and The Ascension, Dillinger hasn't been given the opportunities that he deserves on the main roster and when he was finally being taken seriously, he suffered a hand injury.

Look who just shut down all of Tony Khan's critics! More HERE.

Dillinger was due to have a Championship match against Shinsuke Nakamura, but WWE.com reported that he had suffered an injury to his hand and would be forced to undergo surgery. There is currently no timeline on Dillinger's return but he could be back in time for The Royal Rumble.
