Samoa Joe is reportedly legitimately injured and Kurt Angle has today announced on Twitter that The Samoan Submission machine will not be able to compete on the upcoming Mixed Match Challenge on Facebook Watch. Joe won Facebook poll defeating Elias and Jason Jordan to become Bayley’s tag team partner.

Joe's spot has now been given to Elias since he came in second place. So Bayley will be walking with Elias for the MMC instead.

Thank you all for voting for @itsBayleyWWE partner in #WWEMMC, but due to an injury suffered on #Raw @SamoaJoe is unable to compete...
