Kit Wilson Issues Statement on Missing May 29th WWE SmackDown Show Due To Travel Issues

Friday’s WWE SmackDown show in Barcelona, Spain featured The Miz revealing to SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis that Kit Wilson was absent and tried to get out of his match against Axiom to no avail.

Wilson provided an update on Twitter confirming that he was unable to make the show due to a travel issue and apologized for not being there.

“To everyone at Friday Night SmackDown in Barcelona tonight, and the WWE Universe watching at home, I want to apologise for not being there.

Unfortunately I wasn’t able to make it back to Europe due to multiple travel complications and issues at the airport. I’m absolutely gutted. This is the first time I’ve ever missed a show. At this point, it honestly feels like I’m cursed and everything is falling apart. I’d also like to apologise to my mentor, The Miz, for letting him down, it won’t happen again.

P.S. To the “dirt sheets”. Leave me alone. Stop the articles. Yes, I had over 100ml of moisturisers and creams in my bag… but Kit’s gotta look good.”

WWE Reportedly Considering Adding New Members to The Vision

As noted before, Logan Paul is currently out of action for WWE due to a torn triceps injury he suffered at this past Saturday’s WWE Saturday Night’s Main Event show. Besides Paul, “Big” Bronson Reed has been out of action since this past February due to a distal bicep tear injury and surgery leaving just Bron Breakker and Austin Theory as the remaining active wrestlers for The Vision.

Dave Meltzer reported in this week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter that his sources stated that WWE officials have recently discussed the idea of adding new members to The Vision to boost the group’s numbers. Meltzer reported that this idea was something that WWE officials had been discussing before Paul’s injury.

Meltzer reported that these new potential members would be in addition to Maxxine Durpri, who has been interacting with Theory in the background and teased to be potentially joining the group over recent weeks of WWE RAW shows.

Drew McIntyre WWE Abscense Update
