There's some good news and some bad news on Steve Maclin.
The former IMPACT World Champion was slated for Slammiversary until an injury pulled him from the show. We were told more would be known this week, and we've learned that Maclin sustained a groin tear. Fortunately as of now, it doesn't look like it's going to require surgery.
A return timetable isn't known at this point. Maclin was replaced by Cody Deaner in the match against Scott D'Amore and eventually Eric Young.
