WWE has had to make adjustments to the King Of The Ring tournament. The scheduled matches for Friday’s episode of SmackDown were Bobby Lashley vs. Tama Tonga, AJ Styles vs. Randy Orton, Baron Corbin vs. Carmelo Hayes, and LA Knight vs. Santos Escobar.
However, WWE SmackDown General Manager Nick Aldis revealed today that Lashley sustained an injury during training and will be unable to compete. As a result, Angelo Dawkins will step in to face Tonga.
We send our best wishes to Lashley for a quick and full recovery.
