Update On King Barrett's WWE Status

King Barrett has been conspicuous by his absence this week. Barrett appeared on the WWE TLC pre-show on Sunday, however was absent when the League of Nations did a run-in during the TLC main event. Barrett was nowhere to be seen again on RAW last night.

Dave Meltzer reported on Wrestling Observer Radio that Barrett is injured. Meltzer noted that while he does not know what the injury is, it likely occurred before the TLC pre-show, although Barrett was at the pay-per-view. The severity of the injury is not known, and there should be more details in the coming days.

Barrett last wrestled at last week's Tribute to the Troops taping, teaming with Sheamus, Rusev, Alberto Del Rio, Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper, Erick Rowan and Braun Strowman in a loss to Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, The Usos, The Dudley Boyz, Kane and Ryback.

We reached out to WWE and hope to have an update soon.
