Samoa Joe has been out with a broken thumb that he suffered during a match, according to PWInsider.
He last wrestled on the September 9 Raw, losing a triple threat King of the Ring match against Baron Corbin and Ricochet.
Joe is waiting to be cleared to return, but there’s no publicly known timetable right now. A fractured thumb can heal in about six weeks, but it depends on the severity of the injury.
