Shinsuke Nakamura Injured At WWE Live Event

Many questions were left unanswered when tonight's United States Championship match between Jeff Hardy and Shinsuke Nakamura was scrapped due to an injury incurred at a house show for the challenger.

Well, the details have been clarified and it really is a bizarre one. Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer has confirmed that Nakamura's injury was the result of a police dog biting his leg at the arena before yesterday's Bakersfield show.

On social media earlier tonight, WWE posted a clip of Dasha Fuentes reporting that tonight's match between Nakamura and Hardy had been canceled due to an injury Nakamura sustained last night, but no other details were mentioned around what may have shelved the former NXT star.

The Wrestling Observer noted that Nakamura didn't work SmackDown's Monday night house show in Bakersfield, California, with Dave Meltzer confirming that the Japanese star was bit in the leg by a police dog at the Rabobank Arena in Bakersfield yesterday.
