#3 Io Shirai's debut to be delayed

Debut to be delayed?

The Rumour: The debut of WWE’s new signing Io Shirai could be delayed according to Wrestling Observer. This apparently due to the neck injury that Shirai suffered back in May.

The Potential: WWE has the best medical team in pro wrestling and if they find something concerning about a wrestler’s health, they are unlikely to give the green light. A similar situation might’ve happened with Shirai and she could be sidelined till the medical team clears her.

The Fallout: Shirai’s debut being delayed is not good news for the fans. But it is likely to be the best move for all parties involved.
