SummerSlam Match Nixed Due To Injury, Former WCW Star Having Surgery, Son Of A Legend Getting Tryout
- We noted before that Baron Corbin vs. Kalisto was nixed from the WWE SummerSlam pay-per-view card due to timing issues. It turns out that Kalisto is injured and that's why the match was pulled. Kalisto wrestled on the August 2nd SmackDown, losing an Intercontinental Title #1 contenders match to Apollo Crews. Corbin was also in that match. No word yet on the injury but Kalisto had to be helped to the back after the match.
- Former WCW star Psicosis, now 45 years old, is taking time off from wrestling in Mexico to have knee surgery. He's said that he will likely retire from the ring in 2017.
- Cedric Rougeau, son of former WWE Superstar Jacques Rougeau Jr., will be participating in a tryout at the upcoming WWE Performance Center camp. Rougeau is 6 foot 7 and 315 pounds.
Below is a photo of father and son:
