Details on Angelo Dawkins’ Recent Absence From WWE TV

As previously reported, The Street Profits made their return to WWE at the Royal Rumble, attacking both teams in the tag team title match. Dave Meltzer noted on the latest Wrestling Observer Radio that the team were out for a month as Angelo Dawkins had to have minor knee surgery, due to a torn meniscus. That was also why Dawkins was using a crutch.

Meltzer said: “Angelo Dawkins had minor knee surgery, torn meniscus I believe, just in the last couple of weeks, so that’s why he had the crutch, and I don’t know if that was ever explained … Actually in the post-show, Big E brought it up, you know just out of nowhere, just like, ‘oh yeah he just had knee surgery,’ so you know I think Dawkins had told him, like earlier that afternoon. So he didn’t even seem like it was something that he was supposed to say, it was just something that he kind of said.“
