Is Dominik Mysterio Injured After Rhea Ripley? Real Reason For Arm Sling Revealed

This episode of WWE Monday Night RAW had a lot to do with Judgment Day. While Damian Priest opened the show with Jey Uso, JD McDonagh also got involved. While not being able to help Priest, he did his best. However, during a background segment, we learned Dominik Mysterio had suffered an injury and had his arm in a sling.

Is this the second injury the Judgment Day members have faced after Rhea Ripley last week? Here is all you need to know.

Dominik Mysterio suffers a serious elbow injury

According to Fightful Select, Dominik Mysterio was removed from the ongoing European Tour. Tonight, his arm was in a sling, and he told Priest that Santos Escobar would replace him in his match with McDonagh vs Andrade and Ricochet. Ending the post, Fightful Select wished Mysterio a speedy recovery. This does indicate that he is indeed hurt. While the WWE did not specify the injury Dom Dom suffered, Michael Cole claimed it was an elbow injury while on commentary.

Dirty Dom was present for the match in which Escobar replaced him. While he stood by the ringside, he did help out his team. McDonagh and Escobar showed great chemistry, but Dom was there to distract, and that’s what he did. This earned his team a bit of an advantage before the babyfaces won the match.

The match ended with Priest showing up to take both the babyfaces out. He also claimed he didn’t need anyone and was better off alone. With the WWE Draft coming up, there is a chance that Mysterio or other members of The Judgment Day could encounter a split. However, like Dom’s injury, it is too early to comment on it. Moreover, Dom Dom has other things to worry about.

Will Damian Priest’s title run overshadow everything else?

Currently, Priest is the only member of Judgment Day to hold a title. Priest and Finn Balor lost the unified Tag Team titles at WrestleMania XL. Rhea Ripley was forced to forfeit hers after her injury. Now, all that is left is Priest. Fans speculate that the WWE World Heavyweight champion will either leave or dissolve JD ahead of the WWE Draft.

Another reason for the split could be the absence of The Eradicator, who kept the boys in order. With her missing in action, complete chaos has warped in the group. Her injury issues being a long-term one don’t bode well for the synchronicity of the group. Only time will tell if Priest stays with the gang or leaves. His words to Dom Dom were pretty clear that he didn’t need them. What do you make of the recent segment between the JD members?
