Samoa Joe, who was scheduled to headline Raw last night against John Cena, missed the show due to a knee injury.
The injury was suffered most likely at a Saturday night house show in Jonesboro, Ark., where he faced Cena. Joe missed both the Sunday night house show in Tupelo, Miss., causing the card to be rearranged, as well as not being able to wrestle on last night's Raw.
The Roman Reigns/Cena verbal battle, which was almost completely scripted ahead of time and the key wording was mostly from the writing team and not anyone coming up with unapproved wording, was always scheduled on the show, so Joe's injury did not lead to the segment taking place.
Right now the word is that Joe will be out of action for six weeks or less.
WWE itself did not confirm the injury when contacted earlier today.

Xavier Woods may have suffered a knee injury as The New Day were facing Breezango and SmackDown Tag Team Champions The Usos at last night's WWE live event in Texarkana, Arkansas.
According to Wrestling Inc. correspondent Stephen A. Love ( @BigStevieCool95 ), who was in attendance, the injury came when Woods went for a jumping DDT and apparently pushed off the wrong way. The knee buckled and Woods went down. The referee threw up the dreaded "X" symbol to call the match and one of the Uso brothers then rolled Kofi Kingston up for a quick finish.
Woods seemed to be in pain after the rushed finish and was not able to leave on his own. He was helped to the back by Kofi, Big E and WWE's Dr. Chris Amann. One correspondent noted that Woods "wrecked" his knee.
Stay tuned for updates on Woods' status.
