Backstage News on Dominik Mysterio’s Injury Status – WWE star Dominik Mysterio is set to be sidelined for a while but will be avoiding surgery as it was first reported. 

Mysterio is dealing with an elbow injury, and while it was initially believed he would need to undergo a surgery most commonly associated with baseball pitchers, Tommy John surgery, that’s not the case.

While speaking on Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer noted Mysterio will be getting physical therapy done. 

“So he’s going through physical therapy. Originally, the first word that we got was that he was going to need Tommy John surgery. He said, ‘No surgery,’ and I checked with WWE today. And they said, ‘Yeah, he’s going to do physical therapy. He’s not going to have surgery.’ But that was the original word on Tuesday. So that’s the deal. I mean, that was interesting to me because, you know, the length of recovery from Tommy John surgery is very long. But I was thinking, ‘Yeah, but it isn’t as good as three doesn’t have to pitch 90 miles an hour.’ You know, whatever, but he’s not getting the surgery. So and so that’s basically the deal. Yeah.”
