Uh oh. Just when you thought we could finally hit the reset button on the terrible Ziggler, Lana, Summer Rae, Rusev love rhombus and get Ru Ru back to fighting literally anyone else, all of our hopes and dreams have been torn asunder. Torn like Rusev’s bicep, that is. Hahaha, see what we did there?
Word is that Rusev suffered an injury during his match against Neville for the next episode of WWE Main Event. The injury was immediately apparent, causing them (spoiler alert for the 14 people waiting to watch the show) to stop the match and declare Neville the winner. Rusev apparently still went on a little walkabout to menace fans and show off in front of the camera before heading to the back.
Word going around, according to PWInsider, is that Rusev suffered a torn bicep. Those are crazy hard to heal when on the more severe end. If that’s what it is, the recovery could keep him out of action for anywhere between three to six weeks for a partial tear, all the way up to four to six months if it’s severe and also requires surgery.
Poor Ru Ru. Lucky for him, the NHL season is under way. There are worse ways to recover than by chilling out at a bunch of hockey games. Literally. Because arenas are cold. Hahaha, see what we also did there?
