WWE News: Dean Ambrose Suffering from an Elbow Injury
Dec 20, 2017 at 4:50 PM
Dean Ambrose might have suffered a legit injury on the past edition of WWE Raw. He teamed up with his partner, Seth Rollins, and Jason Jordan to take on the team of Samoa Joe, Sheamus, and Cesaro in a six-man tag team action. The injury was sustained in the last segment of the match when Rollins was in an offensive mood and eventually hit him.
Seth Rollins was rolling at that point in the match and went to hit a suicide dive to take each of the members of the opposing team out of the equation. With the intensity running high, he missed that Ambrose was also standing among the heels. Hence, Rollins landed straight into his partner with the fly.

As spotted on the television, the Lunatic Fringe might have taken the most of the bad landing and hurt his right elbow. He was seen collapsed by the ringside area, as the referee ran straight to check on him. It was an indication that he was hurt, legit.

This created confusion in the match, as well as Rollins, could not understand what happened. Later, he ran straight into a Brogue Kick by Sheamus to digest the pinfall loss. The referee was busy dealing with the injury even after that.

WWE tried to portray this injury as a ‘work’ later the night when The Bar and Samoa Joe delivered another attack on the former WWE Champion re-injuring the right elbow. It was also stated by the WWE announce team that Ambrose was taken to the medical facility. Further updates were given on WWE.com which stated,
“Dean Ambrose sustained an injury to his right arm during Raw’s Six-Man Tag Team Match, and the damage was exacerbated when his opponents, Samoa Joe and Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus, assaulted The Lunatic Fringe in the trainer’s room. The attack culminated when Joe slammed a road case onto Ambrose’s arm, leaving him writhing in pain.
Ambrose was taken to a nearby medical facility for X-rays and evaluation, and more details on his condition should be available.”
