Summer Rae was drafted to Raw in 2016, but due to neck and back injuries, she never appeared on the brand, despite being reportedly cleared in May. Summer posted this 14 hours ago, which could be referencing her impending release:
"Never trippin' off the past, I would rather never mind 'em. Cuz only fools trip over somethin' that be behind them."

In 2016, Darren Young, looked to restart his singles career with the "Make Darren Young Great Again" gimmick alongside Bob Backlund, while also bouncing back to the tag division from time to time. An arm injury during a tag match on Main Event in January kept Young on the shelf, until his return to the ring in early September. Young appeared at "WWE Night" at last night's Los Angeles Clippers game.
