According to Meltzer, Reigns suffered the injury early on during the match and worked most of it while being hurt.

The severity and nature of the injury to Reigns are unknown. Meltzer stated that Reigns will still appear on WWE SmackDown this week as advertised. Reigns is currently slated to appear on SmackDown at the Scotiabank Saddledome in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on Friday, August 11. Jimmy Uso is scheduled to “acknowledge” the still reigning Tribal Chief and “Hail to the Chief” Roman Reigns on SmackDown.
