As of now, WWE says Banks has been evaluated but hasn't provided further clarification on the severity of her injury.
Big E, on the other hand, was assaulted in the parking lot by Sheamus effectively taking him out of the number one contender Fatal 4-Way match to determine who would challenge Roman Reigns for the WWE Universal Championship at WWE Clash of Champions. WWE says Big E is currently undergoing a "battery of tests."
