WWE’s Dominik Mysterio says elbow injury is ‘healing up good’
Dominik Mysterio is progressing well in his recovery from an elbow injury.
For more than a month now, Dominik has been out of action. He was injured while facing Andrade on the April 15 episode of WWE Raw. The injury was considered to be a “freak accident.”
It was originally feared that Dominik would need to undergo Tommy John surgery, but he’s chosen to rehab the injury through physical therapy instead of having surgery done. Dave Meltzer reported earlier this month that Dominik was expecting to return to the ring in 6-8 weeks.
Dominik confirmed that timetable in an interview with The Masked Man Show that was published on Monday. He’s doing rehab two times per week and says the injury is healing up well.
“Arm’s good, arm’s healing up good,” Dominik said. “I had a slight tear in my Tommy John ligament, which was kind of like a freak accident in the wrestling world because it’s a baseball injury. But, yeah, about 6-8 weeks. I’ve been doing two times a week for rehab. So I’m just trying to get healthy and trying to get back out there to help The Judgment Day so they can physically start hurting again.”
Judgment Day’s Rhea Ripley is also on the shelf right now due to injury.
While injured, Dominik has remained on WWE TV as a television character. There’s been a storyline with Liv Morgan attempting to woo Dominik as a way for Morgan to get revenge against Ripley.
