Elias Samson Injured at WWE NXT Live Event

The WWE announced on their website today that NXT star Elias Samson (aka the Drifter) suffered an ankle injury at NXT live event in Nashville over the weekend. It appears like the injury is serious enough to keep him out of action for a decent amount of time.

Here is what WWE.com posted on Monday morning:

“NXT Superstar Elias Samson suffered a fractured left ankle while competing at an NXT Live Event in Nashville this past weekend, WWE.com has learned. “The match had to be stopped due to the injury and Elias was helped to the back, unable to bear weight on the ankle,” WWE ringside physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com. “Elias will be put in a cast and crutches, but is expected to make a full recovery” (Source: WWE.com).

Hopefully he is able to make a full recovery and make his way back to NXT TV!
