WWE SmackDown Superstar Montez Ford reportedly underwent surgery this week.


Ford took to Twitter this week and posted a photo from a hospital room, which you can see below. This came after WWE did an injury angle with he and Otis on the June 11 SmackDown episode. WWE issued a storyline injury update after that show, noting that Ford suffered a partial rib fracture and torn intercostal cartilage. Ford’s wife, SmackDown Women’s Champion Bianca Belair, then appeared on The Bump a few days later and noted that Ford was recovering from the broken rib at home, but he did not suffer any additional storyline injuries in the attack from Otis.


In an update, it looks like the injury angle with Otis was done as a cover story as Ford underwent surgery this week. The Wrestling Observer Newsletter reports that Ford underwent a voluntary surgery this week, one that was not related to any kind of injury, and not something that should keep him out of action for any significant length of time.


Ford reportedly underwent the surgery on Thursday of this week, which was the day after his 3rd wedding anniversary with Belair.


There is no word yet on when Ford will be back in action, but we will keep you updated. You can see his full tweet below:

 
Apparently WWE is going all out with the presentation of their shows when they are back on the road next month:


* The new sets for RAW and Smackdown have reportedly been designed and F4WOnline.com’s Dave Meltzer wrote that the pyro “will be the most impressive they’ve used to date.”

* Dave Meltzer confirmed that Jeff Hardy will be using his old “No More Words” entrance theme when touring starts up. In September of 2020, Hardy mentioned that being able to use the song again “was the deal for me re-signing.” According to Fightful.com, it’s currently believed that Hardy’s contract goes though at least the end of 2022.

* Dave Meltzer confirmed previous reports that FOX and NBC Universal have been suggesting ideas for themed television shows including tie-ins with the NFL and NASCAR. Meltzer noted that the discussion of new ideas is just beginning and wrote how he was told WWE President Nick Khan “is always going to be open to any ideas that bring in new revenue, add promotion to the product, synergy with other popular cultural entities and new packaging.”

* While it doesn’t necessarily mean anything, Edge is being advertised for Smackdown events after the Draft takes place.

* In regards to ticket sales, Money in the Bank in Fort Worth, TX is close to being sold-out. Summerslam in Las Vegas, NV has around 36,800 tickets out with a current capacity of 41,661.
 
That dumb chick who told the world she was hired and don't know anything.

Ayo.. its a lot of people pissed now saying that the fans blew it out of proportion and drew more attention the situation by talking shit about it but Idk. I honestly feel like she fucked herself over talking about it so openly..

she even had a post on her social media that said "Maybe now somebody can help me figure out what a heal is"
