WWE SummerSlam: Top match cancelled due to injury in heartbreaking update

Triple H has been dealt a blow just days before his first Premium Live Event as Head of Creative, with one of his scheduled matches having to be cancelled.

One of the matches that fans were most excited about on the SummerSlam card was the showdown between Seth Rollins and Riddle.

Unfortunately, that match won’t be happening anymore, with Riddle being forced to miss the show due to injury.

The news was confirmed by WWE on The Bump this afternoon, with it being confirmed that Riddle had suffered a brachial plexus injury, otherwise referred to as a stinger.
