4 WWE Superstars Who Are Currently Working Injured 

This time of the year WWE often struggles with injuries and is left with a threadbare roster to get them through the festival period. The likes of Sasha Banks, Tamina Snuka, and Samir Singh recently made their return to WWE, but Sami Zayn, Kevin Owens, Fandango and Roman Reigns are all now sidelined for the foreseeable future.

Whilst there are a number of stars who's injuries mean that they need to miss time on the road to recover, there are others who can still be cleared for in-ring competition despite their obvious injuries and WWE is instead forced to monitor their health and allow them to compete in must easier matches to ensure that they don't make their injury any worse than it already is.

Wrestling can be a hard job and over the years there have been hundreds of reports of WWE stars braving it out and working injured so that they can finish a storyline and right now there are a number of WWE stars braving the pain for their craft.

It is also worth noting that all of these injuries are based on rumors circulating around the WWE Universe and have not been confirmed by WWE.

#4 Braun Strowman

Braun Strowman is struggling with a knee injury

Braun Strowman has been struggling with a knee injury over the past few weeks, one that was best seen when he faced Dean Ambrose on Raw a few weeks ago. Strowman wasn't in a match on Raw this week since instead, he was part of a number of angles with Drew McIntyre, but it's thought that the knee injury could be one of the reasons why Strowman hasn't been part of many actions on Raw in recent weeks.

A number of sources have confirmed that the former Wyatt Family member has been working injured and will now be forced to go one-on-one with Brock Lesnar at Crown Jewel for the vacated Universal Championship since WWE has no one else to fall back on.

It is the time of year when WWE always struggles with injuries and it appears that Strowman could be the man who is the worst affected by this.

#3 Alexa Bliss

Alexa Bliss has been struggling with injury over the past month

Alexa Bliss has only recently been cleared to return to the ring after struggling with an arm injury for the best part of a month following her match with Ronda Rousey at Hell in a Cell. Bliss is reported to have suffered either a concussion or a broken nose at a recent live event, which is why she was replaced by Alicia Fox last night on Raw.

Fox and Mickie James were attacked by Trish Stratus and Lita since Bliss is in no position to take bumps right now, but given the fact that Evolution takes place in just four days, Bliss will probably be called back onto the roster to be part of her tag team match with the two WWE Hall of Famers.

As a heel, it will be easy for Bliss to work the match through injury since she could just come in and work the lighter angles of the match whilst allowing Mickie James to take all of the heat.

#2 Samoa Joe

Samoa Joe has an undisclosed injury that is keeping him off WWE TV

A few short weeks ago, Samoa Joe was in the WWE Championship picture and now he has seemingly disappeared from view once again. The former NXT Champion has reportedly been struggling with an injury of his own in recent months and this is the reason why he's taken some time away from TV.

It's an interesting decision to not have Joe part of Crown Jewel next week but as Daniel Wood reported just over a week ago, the Samoan Submission Machine is struggling with some kind of injury right now that has kept him away from the main show. Interestingly, WWE hasn't announced publically that Joe is dealing with an injury, which means that he could be evaluated and able to make his return in the coming weeks dependent on the severity of his injury.

#1 Bobby Lashley

Lashley had a very short match on Raw last night

Bobby Lashley recently turned heel and put Kevin Owens on the shelf with a knee injury and has since set his sights on Finn Balor, the former Universal Champion picked up a shock win over The Dominator on Raw last night, which has led to many fans questioning what the point of building Lashley like a beast was.

Dave Meltzer of The Wrestling Observer stated that Lashley has been struggling with an injury, one that won't force him to miss much time on the road but could force him to slow down a little bit in the ring. This could be the reason why the match was so short last night on Raw and could allow Lashley to step into a much longer feud with Balor, who is considered to be quite a safe worker in WWE.
