Tyson Kidd might be out for months!!!

[Navi]

The main page is reporting that now Tyson Kidd, part of Kidcesaro, suffered either a neck or spinal injury this week. He was in a dark mark with Samoa Joe, when the injury occurred. The speculation is that he'll be out for a few months, and they have yet to determine whether he'll have to have surgery or not.

What a shame for the tag team division and Kidd himself. He and Cesaro were doing very well, and just hitting their stride. Hopefully he'll have done whatever he needs to do and be back strong as ever.

Wonder what they'll do with Cesaro in the meantime. Hoping he doesn't go back to jobber status, but it looks like the tag team division has lost a good team, just when it was getting itself straightened out.

Yea unfortunate news about Kidd. Him and Cesaro were an entertaining team, and one of the few you could tell really cared about their spot as they incorporated many unique double team moves(cesaro swing+dropkick to head for example)

I liked Kidd's work on nxt, where he started his whole "Fact" gimmick. i went from "eh tyson kidd....boring" to looking forward to his matches.

i was at the last event in San Diego and got to meet kidd n cesaro real quick. They were still heels at the time n had a small promo prior to their match which i loved.

Maybe wwe will push Harper/Rowan into a larger spot now to fill in for the loss of a top team. not saying they immediately get a title shot, as thats goin to PTP atm but still

 

[Max Headroom]

Really bummed about this. They were my favourite current tag-team on the go in the WWE at the moment. Hoping for a full, proper recovery for Kidd. Also hoping for Cesaro to not go back to how he was before the team (similar to yourself). Part of me would suggest keeping Cesaro off until Kidd heals up, but spinal injuries are pretty severe (I have no medical degree, but I'm sure they can be potentially career-ending), so that could mean having Cesaro out for a LONG time. Maybe they'd come back and get a big pop due to both being unheard of for so long, but there is also the possibility that they get forgotten and overlooked due to other teams stepping up.

The other option would be to have Cesaro compete in singles matches until more is know own Kidd's status. But, as you said, they can't just have him go out and start losing like a fool again. Maybe have him answer Cena's Challenge if he goes back to that after the Owens feud, and set up a Cesaro/Cena feud. If Cesaro gets over, have him win in a best-of-3. Otherwise, just make him look decent and then have him win a feud with a lesser talent afterwards. He could also be a good IC title contender.

The last option would be to get him a new partner, but that would be a slap in the face to Kidd, and there is the risk that Cesaro & the new guy don't mesh nearly as well as Cesaro & Kidd do. So, hopefully Kidd doesn't need to be gone TOO long, and he comes back to win the tag titles with Cesaro again upon his return.

No biggie. Kidd and Cesaro ere done as a team. They were makeshift, won the titles and failed in reaches. Where else was there for them to go? A feud ending pre-show match.

Cesaro must be cautiously optimistic about the next few months.

First of all I would like to convey my thanks to you for bringing up this topic. I wanted to post this one. I was gutted to see when no one really seemed to care about Tyson Kidd got hurt.

He had his best run in the WWE in these months most of the thanks go to NXT for building up his character. I always loved for his inring skills. He's one of the few who can matchup with a botched move by turning It into another move. And no one I mean literally no one complained about his and Cesaro's tag titles run.

Its a shame indeed. I'm gutted I feel so sorry for Tyson. And yes of course I ought to think about what the WWE will do with Cesaro now. He has been booked so strong and many a times he had showed he got that "IT" factor. I hope he would answer John Cena's open challenge and win the title and having a potential feud with returning Tyson Kidd. Oh Yes I love fantasy!

Cheers!!

This is a tough break for Kidd. As far as the team is concerned, I don't think there was much more for them to do together. They were just sort of thrown together and made the best of their situation, which gave them a bit of a spotlight for the time being. If it were my decision, Cesaro would be entered into the MITB match, and win it. I'm sure that isn't how WWE is going to do things though. I will be optimistic that they won't just demote Cesaro back to jobber status and really utilize his skills for something better. Maybe, keep Natalia escorting him to the ring while Kidd is out which could lead into a jealousy feud upon return or something along the line.

 

[K Web V3]

Cesaro can succeed as a singles star. He may need a manager as hes not that intriguing on the mic. Theres no doubt Cesaro is a beast inside the 4 roped ring lol

this ultimately hurts Kidd the most(no pun intended) he was finally having a good run(again as others have said, nxt was a blessing for him....maybe it can help a guy like Ryder??) i dont think wwe sees Tyson as having a future as a solo act, so with his being out, and the likelihood cesaro can possibly get his momentum back as a singles player, Kidd is left out in the dark unless he can find another partner to team with....

Hopefully Natty stays with cesaro in the meanwhile, as ive found her extremely sexy since wm31, when she changed up her attire. She looks FINE now lol.....and i wanna keep seeing her!!(Then again, maybe this allows wwe to reinsert natty into the divas title picture?)

 

[supernatural1981]

I feel bad for Kidd. He is one of the more talented in ring performers on the roster but has never really seemed to take off for whatever reason. I'm hoping he can come back from this in a good spot on the roster and does not end up back down in NXT.

This may be a blessing in disguise for Cesaro who may now get a good push once again as a singles star.

My question is does anyone think this may effect Joe in any way? Will Vince think his style is too stiff?

 

[OYDK]

This sucks. People can say that Cesaro and Kidd were done as a team all they want, they were by far the best tag team in the division and had much more steam left in the tank. So a team wins the Tag Titles and all of a sudden, "they have nothing left to do"... maybe that's why the division has sucked all these years.

Anyway, I'm hoping the injury isn't as severe as it seems. Kidd has already missed a year with a knee injury and I can't see WWE taking many more chances with him if he were to miss another 3 months or so. I really hope WWE doesn't overeact to this if he was hurt taking one of Joe's moves. I can just see them freaking out about Joe being too stiff or dangerous or some other nonsense. As for Cesaro, I'm kind of hoping they give him another partner similar in style to Kidd, like say a Neville until Kidd returns. Once Tyson comes back, he and Cesaro could re-unite as heels by turning on Neville.

 

[Vanilla Midget]

Hopefully the rumours are not true and Kidd recovers quickly. Kidd/Cesaro have been excellent as a tag team. They're best work has been as faces. This should not be the end of their tag team. I hope Kidd returns and they resume their team. Hopefully they seize that opportunity to return with an actual team name and a new theme.

Another outcome I'm hopeful for is that they seize this opportunity to start using Natalya as a wrestler. She's horribly wasted along with the other main roster divas. Odds are she spends some time at home with her husband, but can we get her as second face after Paige? Or even back on NXT.

What to do with Cesaro? Natalya could manage him, keeping Kidd's eventual return in our minds. Cesaro should stay face and I'd love to see a match with Owens. I might be dreaming though as WWE might be likely to keep him in the lower midcard. Matches vs Sheamus, Wyatt, or tossing around Big Show like a rag doll could be fun.

Cesaro could start a temporary tag team with Jey Uso. Team names could include, "Off the Shelf" or "The Healthy Guys" or "The Z-Pak Boys" or "Killing Time" or "The creative doesn't have anything for you Express."

I really hope they don't job Cesaro along or send him to dark match hell. A return to NXT as a face could be awesome, speaking as an NXT fan. He's getting over the way he should have last spring when he logically should have turned babyface. The worst would be for the universe to forget about him.

I wish my countryman Kidd a speedy recovery. I'm sure he'll see this.

 

[MCMG]

This is a shame as I really liked the team. These two are just wonderful together and they were finally getting their break as babyfaces. It's a shame it got cut-off because these two are constants for the WWE. Each Raw or Smackdown they know they are able to send out Tyson and Cesaro and they will deliver.

I'm worried for Cesaro. The momentum is with him as a good guy and we haven't seen that yet. People just want to cheer for him and I would love to see him get the opportunity. The issue, however, is that the WWE have enough good guys. Brock, Cena, Orton, Reigns, Ambrose all at the top with the possibility of Bryan returning. Then Ryback, Ziggler and Neville in the mid-card. It would be tough for him to find a spot amongst all that never-mind moving up the card.

The idea that he finds a partner could work. If Sami didn't get injured he may have been an option. I suppose they might just turn him heel and he will back losing every week. If they turned him heel and gave him proper feuds than I wouldn't mind as much. He could put an interesting feud with any of those aforementioned names given he has only really feuded with Ziggler before.

As for Tyson, I suppose it's just hoping he comes back as soon as possible. He could definitely stick around and manage Nattie. Indeed, the worry for him would be that Cesaro does something noteworthy and there wouldn't be a team for him to come back to. In that case, he would be a fine mid-card heel.

 

[The 1-2-3 Killam]

Terrible loss for fans of the tag team, outside of the obvious loss for Kidd as a performer who was probably at the height of his momentum in a very long, very undervalued WWE career. Hopefully he'll be back quickly, and it won't be as serious as some reports think it might be.

I guess the question becomes, what do they do with Cesaro? They took the non-injured Uso off television because of his brother, but Cesaro doesn't really live or die by his tag team gimmick. I personally feel like Tyson and Nattie gave him the missing pieces out there, because a lot of times it feels like he's lacking some sort of ingredient to make him a stand-out solo star. At least maybe in the eyes of someone like Vince.

As for the injury, they seem to be piling up as of late. You can add Kidd to the list of names including Alex Riley, Daniel Bryan, Uso, Hideo Itami, Sami Zayn, Goldust, and Rusev. Not to mention that Brock Lesnar works about a dozen dates a year, D-Young just came back, Swagger has been MIA, Ryder is back in NXT apparently, Orton has been god-knows-where and doesn't work half the live events, and it's starting to look like Christian may be done permanently.

I'm not much for the take-a-season-off approach that some have pitched, but cutting down the live event schedule and boosting the roster with jobbers seems like a decent idea. The business sort of lives and breaths on solid guys that can work full-time and fly under the radar, to supplement the roster and give the core workers some time to rest. It may not be as interesting to watch watch on a 3-hour RAW, but The Ascension vs. Joe and Jerry Shmoe is better long-term than having all the tag teams working 10-15 minute matches every single night, doing all their crazy spots.

 

[Mustang Sally]

As for Tyson, I suppose it's just hoping he comes back as soon as possible.

For sure. When he tore his meniscus, it seemed he was out for an impossibly long time....and I had the idea his injury had healed long before we saw him again in the ring because Creative simply had nothing for him......and therein lie his problem; even as he displayed technical excellence in the ring and opponents probably loved working with him, he wasn't allowed to show any personality during his long, long jobbing phase. He'd lose the match but look good doing it.

It was only when the 'Total Divas' nonsense gave Tyson a chance to show his acting chops (which I found surprisingly good) that he finally started appearing more in the ring and being allowed to show more than just his wrestling ability.........and lo & behold, he was even allowed to win some of his matches....and to impress even when losing. Appearing with his wife spelled good things for both of them.

So, this injury came at a lousy time.....not that they ever strike at opportune moments. Hopefully, when Kidd returns, they'll bounce him back up to the status at which he left off.

Kiddaro was my favorite tag team and I hate to lose them.

This may be a blessing in disguise for Cesaro who may now get a good push once again as a singles star.

My question is does anyone think this may effect Joe in any way? Will Vince think his style is too stiff?

I had the same thought regarding Joe. I saw the clip of the dark match and he finished Kidd with the Muscle Buster. I have to imagine this is going to have some impact on how he is allowed to work. It sucks though, as Joe has used the move for years, and I don't believe there have been issues with it in the past.

 

[K Web V3]

Definite blow to the tag team division. #Fact

Kidd and Cesaro consistently put out awesome matches. #Fact

Hope Kidd heals quickly. #Fact

Give Cesaro a chance in the meanwhile. #Fact

 

[chuckmdubya]

Well, if he is out for months, that really sucks. The partnership has really helped both guys a lot. Plus, the tag division is finally gaining some strength and entertainment value, the next few months could have help propel him or Cesaro to become bug singles stars.
It really is bad for Cesaro, as he has gained so much from the team since its starts. He's gone from the guy we wanted to do good, to the guy he is today, with a much stronger performances on the mic and in the ring, even his basic charisma and body language has improved.
I hope that this will be over quickly or that Cesaro gets a chance to move up the roster while Kidd is out. The main event picture has been the same since Wrestlemania, and It wasn't much better before because Lesnar was around so little. Cesaro would be a great addition to the top card and I'd like to see him participate in, if not win MITB.

 

[Ms Fragaria Vesca]

My question is does anyone think this may effect Joe in any way? Will Vince think his style is too stiff?

I don't think so. Because the latest reports suggests that he got injured in a freak way and that could've not been stopped from happening. I read it on the main page. But still I guess there'll be a question mark when it comes to if WWE will ban Joe from using Muscle Buster.

And moreover Hunter will always be there to save his guys. He picked Samoe Joe into WWE despite the strong defiance from Vince.

 

[Softcore Holly]

Really sucks to hear, Kidd Cesaro was easily the best face team we had by far and this has also been the most productive way they've been used in years. Now Cesaro's probably going to get lost in the singles shuffle(again) and any sort of neck injury makes me really nervous, especially that part of the article where they say it's worse then they thought. Poor guy, hopefully he can bounce back from this.

 

[InZayn]

Such a Shame for
Kidd and Cesaro they were the most over team and my fav team.

The big question is what to do with Cesaro, its a shame Sami Zayn is injured or id either have Cesaro feud with him or Tag with him. but for now i say let him answer cenas challenge then maybe feud with a new IC champion maybe Barrett or Sheamus, Just Please keep Cesaro FACE!!!!

I'd love to see Natayla manage Cesaro while Kidd is out. He could do some mid card feuds against Sheamus, Rusev, etc. just to keep busy, maybe even get a US title reigns until Kidd comes back.

 

[t2ne]

I hope this opens the door for cesaro to finally do his own thing and get a legitimate push. Eventually Tyson can return and there's no need for a fued between the two but he could return evening the odds against some opponent that's receiving help. Tyson has the potential to be a good heel midcard champion upon returning but I think would receive a huge sustainable pop and push as a face with cesaro
