Former WWE Champion Threatens Ben Simmons With Violence, Feels Back Injury Is a Fake Excuse

A team needs to put their player first and the game second. But, what if it’s an elimination game and it’s one of the top players in the team? In these situations a hard call needs to be made and the Brooklyn Nets did just that with Ben Simmons.

When his back soreness returned, The Nets ruled him out for Game 4 against the Celtics. Considering this is the elimination game, it’s important for the Nets to win for Game 5.

But, Simmons has been healing from a herniated disk, and till Game 3 he was doing fine. As of now, it’s being said that he will not be at Game 4 and may miss the rest of the season.

Of course, he’s come under heavy fire because of this. Fans and critics have come down on him about this, but so has WWE Legend The Iron Sheik. He took to social media to convey his frustration, and claimed he will break Simmons’ back for real.

WWE Legend The Iron Sheik rarely takes shots at other athletes, his primary focus is always on Hulk Hogan. But, when he takes one, it’s hard-hitting and absolutely to the point.

However, does he have a point this time?

Even though the team made the call to let Simmons sit out at Game 4, The Nets are at a 3-0 deficit. Hence, the team could have used all the players.

Now, Simmons was supposed to make his debut as a player for The Brooklyn Nets at Game 4, and this had gathered significant attention. However, when it was ruled that he wouldn’t do so, people criticized him for not being competitive.

Cmon MAN!!! Out for Game 4 when it was rumored you were going to make your debut. This dude has ZERO competitive .. As small a chance as the Nets have to come back in this series, you still have KD and Kyrie, all you need is to win ONE game and take it from there.. #ManUp pic.twitter.com/Y5smcnQkqZ

Simmons had specifically requested for a trade from The Philadelphia 76ers. He even paid fines for not turning up for playing a few games. But, everyone expected him to suit up and play Game 4 given it’s a make or break situation.

As of now, it’s unknown if he’s actually going to return to playing at all this season. And, there can only be a Game 5 if The Nets can successfully win against the Boston Celtics.
