Added 2019-12-17 20:00:02 +0000 UTC

Even though he's not wrestled on TV, Elias is completely cleared and worked a live event match last week against Dolph Ziggler.

Nia Jax is back at the WWE Performance Center preparing and training for a return. WWE's internal list has her as 1/2020. Ruby Riott internally was listed as the same date.

Xavier Woods is sidelined with a torn achilles, and originally had an "evalutation date" listed internally at July, but that's been changed to May.

Despite Lars Sullivan being seen training, he's nowhere near a return, we're told. Internally, he's been listed as June 2020 as a "return" date. We've also heard that his recovery was going slower than originally expected, as of a few months ago.

We should note, this guidelines are not hard and fast, they are estimates internally by WWE. Conversely, WWE talent have publicly taken issue with some of the miscommunication involved at times. We keep an updated injury list at this link.
