"Better than the whole AEW roster" - WWE Universe reacts to updated injury list of superstars

Bobby Lashley was the latest WWE Superstar to be sidelined due to an injury. The injury list of performers keeps on increasing and the WWE Universe has reacted to the updated list.

Lashley was supposed to participate in the first round of the 2024 King of the Ring tournament and face Tama Tonga on the upcoming episode of SmackDown. However, The All Mighty reportedly suffered an injury during training and will be replaced by Angelo Dawkins. It is unclear if the injury is legitimate, but Lashley's status is currently out.

An X/Twitter user listed the names of 15 WWE Superstars who are currently on the shelf due to an injury. You can read the original tweet here.

The WWE Universe reacted to the long list that includes top superstars such as CM Punk, Seth Rollins, Drew McIntyre, Rhea Ripley, Charlotte Flair, Asuka, and Big E. Some fans were astonished by the star power of the injured list, while others chose to see the silver lining.

Check out some of the fan reactions below:

"This injured list is better than the whole AEW roster," one fan wrote.

"Gives others a chance to shine," a fan replied.

"It's wild to think that WWE is as hot as it is, and some MAJOR stars are on the bench rn. Imagine when the roster is at full strength?!" another fan commented.

Fans were also happy that some superstars on the list were close to their recovery period, while others felt sad that Big E has been out for more than two years.

"Well I will say this the good thing is Charlotte Flair, CM Punk, Sonya Deville, and maybe Drew McIntyre are close to making a full recovery so we should be seeing them soon," a fan wrote.

"We should stop including Big E in these lists. I hate to say it but his in ring career is over," one fan claimed.

"Might as well remove Big E… very unlikely he comes back," another fan commented.

It will be interesting to see when these aforementioned superstars will return to in-ring action.
