However, it appears that The Final Boss sustained an injury while fighting against Rhodes and Rollins. After the event, during the Saturday post-press conference show, Johnson faced questions about his injury and well-being. The Great One replied, “I feel great, body feels great, I just had the time of my life and I put in a lot of work, we had a hell of a training camp which lasted probably about 10-12 weeks and I wanted to make sure that I was as prepared as I possibly could be. These guys who I wrestled with tonight, as you guys know, they’re the best in the world and on the planet and I wanted to make sure that I came in game ready and ring ready as best I can.”
