Paul “Triple H” Levesque revealed on Twitter that he will be undergoing surgery on Tuesday morning, including a nasty photo of the result of his injury at Crown Jewel.
As confirmed by WWE, Triple H suffered a torn pectoral muscle during the main event of Crown Jewel last Friday live on the WWE Network from Saudi Arabia.
The injury, which took place when Triple H was whipped into the corner and took a bump over the ropes early in the match, did not prevent him from finishing the match.

Anthem Sports Seeks Dismissal of Jeff Jarrett's Lawsuit
Impact Wrestling, is in the midst of a lawsuit from Jeff Jarrett and Global Force Entertainment. PWInsider published a new lengthy report with the latest on the lawsuit today, including the response by Anthem Sports to the lawsuit.
Previously, Jarrett and GFE filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against Anthem and Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions, LLC. The suit was filed on August 10 in the United States District Court of Tennessee. Jarrett and Global Force want a jury trial and an injunction that would prevent Anthem from copying, distributing, selling, offering for sale and displaying the GFW Amped content. Amped was the TV show that was previously filmed GFW in its earliest days.
Additionally, the injunction would prevent Anthem from using Global Force Wrestling and GFW names, the logo and anything that is similar to it, including “but not limited to, Global Wrestling Network, GWN, and the GWN logo.” On November 1, Anthem Sports filed a motion to the court to have the lawsuit dismissed.
Anthem responded to the lawsuit stating that Jarrett’s legal team failed “to state an adequate claim of copyright infringement” over the Global Force Wrestling Amped shows that Impact aired as pay-per-view shows. Additionally, Anthem also claims no official copyrights were filed on the material before the lawsuit was filed. The report indicates that is why Jarrett and his team tried to have a court order filed that would see Impact Wrestling hand over the Amped master tapes. That way they could file the copyrights on the 16 hours of GFW Amped content in question.
Another part of the lawsuit is that Jarrett is alleging that Anthem “violated Jeff Jarrett’s exclusive property rights to his own name, photograph, and other likeness.” To that, Anthem Sports responded, “Jeff Jarrett has previously authorized the use of his name and likeness as a trademark and Defendants own that trademark.” That means that Anthem is legally stating that after the company acquired TNA/Impact from Dixie Carter’s Impact Ventures, LLC, that included Jarrett’s likeness. The company’s legal response also reportedly had a statement from Jarrett giving consent to TNA Entertainment, LLC back in 2006.
The legal response by Anthem Sports contests that they can’t be sued in the state of Tennessee since Anthem is based in Canada out of Toronto. Anthem Sports wants to be dismissed as a defendant in the case, noting that Anthem Sports and Anthem Wrestling Exhibitions are two separate companies, and Anthem Sports is cited as a “holding company” that does not have “any day-to-day operations of any kind.”
Magistrate Judge Joe Brown reportedly ordered all discovery for the lawsuit be completed by July 1, 2019. If the lawsuit is not dismissed, it could go further into next year before it’s settled or tried in a court of law.

WWE confirms another Champion vs. Champion match for the Survivor Series PPV
WWE has confirmed another Champion vs. Champion match for Survivor Series.
As teased by WWE earlier this week, WWE Intercontinental Champion Seth Rollins will take on WWE United States Champion Shinsuke Nakamura in two weeks.
This joins two previously announced Champion vs. Champion matches for the PPV in Los Angeles, including WWE Champion AJ Styles vs. WWE Universal Champion Brock Lesnar (announced this past Friday at Crown Jewel) and RAW Women’s Champion Ronda Rousey vs. Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.
These are the only matches official for Survivor Series as of this weekend.
Opinionated View- Lazy booking by WWE lets just make the show all Raw vs. Smackdown matches. Even worse the Amborse vs. Rollins feud if done right could be this super hot angle. That should be the IC title match. Fine WWE champ vs. Universal champ okay. Becky and Ronda should be good but don't miss a chance for a big moment just to fit a stupid theme. Plus poor Rollins will have to carry that no talent goof Nakamura

WWE says Triple H suffered injury during Crown Jewel main event in Saudi Arabia
WWE.com is reporting that Triple H looks to have suffered an injury during Friday’s main event at Crown Jewel in Saudi Arabia earlier this afternoon.
According to WWE, Triple H looks to have suffered a torn pectoral muscle. The report notes Triple H will be returning to the United States this week to undergo surgery.
The injury, which took place when Triple H teamed with Shawn Michaels against The Undertaker and Kane in a tag team match, looks to have occurred when he was whipped into the corner and took a bump over the ropes early in the match reports F4WOnline.
Despite suffering the injury early on, Triple H was able to continue on with the match and ended up getting the winning pinfall on Kane following a Pedigree. Although not confirmed, it would appear he will be leaving WWE’s European tour a bit early as a result.

Reason WWE is Having Hulk Hogan Return at WWE Crown Jewel
According to The Wrestling Observer Newsletter, WWE reportedly wanted to keep Hulk Hogan’s return low-key like they have with the location of Crown Jewel being in Saudi Arabia. WWE had produced a Crown Jewel commercial that featured Hogan in it, with the return announced, and was to air it during Monday’s Raw. The company opted not to run the commercial to keep his return low-key, which is why he isn’t making his grand return on a Raw or at Survivor Series.
