Kane reportedly suffered an Achilles tendon injury last week, and that is the reason why he was attacked on-screen at Extreme Rules.
PWInsider.com is reporting Kane suffered the injury sometime during the course of last week’s episode of WWE Smackdown Live. He was then attacked by the Bludgeon Brothers at Extreme Rules, and saw limited action in the match and wore a walking boot. According to the report, a source downplayed the severity of the injury, but he was not seen on last night’s episode of Smackdown.
