Hi, I'm Donna, the editor for WWE at EssentiallySports. I help our writers dot their i's, cross their t's, and ensure they get all their facts straight. I am particularly invested in the world of wrestling since it's unlike any other sport currently televised. The thought put behind orchestrating wacky storylines and building hype for months on end is incredible and something that I enjoy keeping track of. Particularly, I like the shenanigans Rhea Ripley and Dominik Mysterio get up to as part of The Judgment Day, as well as watching what up-and-coming talents have to offer over at NXT.

During my time at ES, I have been doing live coverage of WWE SmackDown which currently hosts our ?Head of the Table? Roman Reigns. Prior to this, I worked as a reporter for a national newspaper, covering investigative stories on education, space, science, and tech. While these might seem worlds apart, I still enjoy getting into the nitty gritty of stories here at ES, picking apart details and finding out facts about wrestlers that most would overlook. In my spare time, I enjoy delving into my hobbies: writing, drawing, or just goofing off with my cat.

On the latest episode of SmackDown on December 1st, the newly crowned US Champion Logan Paul announced an 8-man tournament to announce his next opponent. Kevin Owens was one of the 8 participants. He fought rookie Grayson Waller for the #1 contender spot. However, during the match, Waller attacked Owens’ hands which may have caused an unfortunate injury. WWE PROVIDES AN UPDATE ON THE HEALTH STATUS OF KEVIN OWENS WWE tweeted a picture of Kevin Owens from this week’s SmackDown on 2nd December. The caption for the tweet read, “UPDATE: @fightowensfight has sustained an injury, fracturing his 4th and 5th metacarpal during #SmackDown last night.” Owens suffered the injury on his right hand. It is a common injury that is often caused by falls, or direct impacts. Despite winning the match, it will cost Owens any further participation in the tournament. WWE is yet to announce a further replacement for him though. 

WWE announced an injury update on a former WWE Champion after they suffered an injury on their hand while wrestling at SmackDown this week.

Have you ever tried imitating the gestures and catchphrases of your favorite pro
wrestlers? Those people eh? Well, I am those people! Hi, I am Himangshu Sinha, a
WWE writer at EssentiallySports who is realizing his dream of writing about his
favorite pro wrestlers. As a WWE fan, I acknowledge my Tribal Chief the most. I
admire Gunther and LA Knight. Outside of WWE, I like the freshly squeezed juicy
performance of AEW star Orange Cassidy. I have been lucky enough to cover nearly
all of my favorities during my time here at ES. I have worked on a number of
interesting stories ranging from why Cody Rhodes is called ?The American
Nightmare? and speculating when will Jade Cargill make her in-ring debut for
WWE. Diving into the other side of my art, I love to play the piano and have
been doing it for the last 10 years. You can reach out to me on my LinkedIn

<p style="text-align: center">Kevin Yanick Steen, better known to the WWE Universe as Kevin Owens, is a professional wrestler from Quebec, Canada, currently signed to the Raw brand of the WWE. Owens is widely regarded as one of the best talents of the modern era with his fan following almost assuming a cult status.</p>
<p style="text-align: center">Coming from a humble background, Owens had to cut his teeth on the independent circuit before even dreaming of the bright lights of WWE. However, such was his dedication, that despite not knowing a word of English as a child due to his native language being French, he watched episodes of Raw to learn the language. Contrast that with today when he is considered one of the best talkers in all of sports entertainment.</p>

<p style="text-align: center">After years of dedication and hard work, WWE came calling. He was signed to the developmental brand of NXT in 2014. Owens is regarded as one of the cornerstones of modern NXT that converted the once redundant brand into a global force to reckon with.</p>
