Is this a legitimate injury?

Over the years, WWE has executed several kayfabe injuries on superstars to trick the WWE fans. Because of such injuries, WWE has executed several surprise returns, which the fans weren’t expecting at all. Now, looking at the scenario of Thatcher, WWE hasn’t explained what type of injury did Thatcher attain. The details about the injury and the period for its recovery are yet not revealed by WWE, which has led fans to speculate Thatcher’s injury to a decoy.

If the injury turns to be a legitimate one, then it’s really sad news for WWE fans and the NXT show. Thatcher has got the potential to be part of the bigwigs of the NXT roster. The fact that he will be sidelined for an indefinite period will put question marks about his future at WWE. Fans can hope that the injury doesn’t come out as a serious one if it is legitimate.
