Kalisto injury during WWE RAW was part of a storyline
There were early reports that Kalisto’s injury was real but the incident on last night’s WWE RAW involving Kalisto and the Dudleys was storyline.
During Raw, Kalisto took a bump on his face outside the ring and was clotheslined by Devon and was acting as though he was injured, to leave Sin Cara on his own, to end up with the Lucha Dragons losing to the Dudleys in the tag team tournament.
That was a scripted part of the show and Kalisto is not going to be missing any action.
While Kalisto stayed down, they used a local extra and not a regular trainer as the person who attended to him, and never did an “X” symbol, although they did play it up as if he was hurt.
Nobody backstage was talking about it if as anything had gone wrong the rest of the night.
