WWE LFG kicks off this week with serious concern after it was revealed that Elijah Holyfield has suffered an injury during the competition.
The exact nature and severity of the injury are still unknown, and WWE has not given any clear update on how long he could be out.
“We don’t know the extent of it just yet,” was the only confirmation offered during the episode’s opening moments, leaving fans — and Team Bubba — in suspense.
This puts Team Bubba, made up of BJ Ray, Zena Sterling, Haze Jameson, and Elijah Holyfield, in a tough position heading into the next phase of the contest. With Holyfield sidelined, they’re now down a crucial team member at a time when every moment counts.
The timing couldn’t be worse, as Zena Sterling faces pressure from Bubba Ray Dudley to step up, while Booker T and Harlem Lewis clash behind the scenes. But it’s Holyfield’s injury that casts the biggest shadow over this week’s episode — and how WWE chooses to handle his absence could seriously impact the outcome of the show.
Will Team Bubba be given a replacement? Will Holyfield return sooner than expected? Or is this the beginning of a slow unravel for one of the competition’s strongest teams?
WWE has promised more updates soon — and Ringside News will keep you posted.
Do you think WWE should replace Elijah Holyfield on Team Bubba or wait for him to recover? Drop your thoughts in the comments and let us know how you’d handle it.
