“Kicks My A**”: Dwayne Johnson Shares Update on Elbow Injury

During his wrestling time, Dwayne Johnson was put at risk of various injuries. However, despite officially retiring, his work demands him to do the same at times. Currently, he is training for his role in The Smashing Machine, where he is supposed to play Mark Kerr and this has put him inside the ring once again for a brand new sport. The wrestler was recently injured, probably during his training for the A24 movie. After several days, Johnson has finally shared an update regarding his elbow injury and things appear to be getting better for him.

The WWE legend last updated fans when the elbow injury took place. He suffered from a ruptured bursa sac on the elbow that is responsible for working as a cushion on impact and reducing the effects of friction on the body part. The injury usually takes 3 to 6 weeks to recover, but it seems like Johnson is already training his arm to get better.

The Rock uploaded a video on his official Instagram handle where he could be seen doing dumbbell rows, which involves a lot of elbow movement. In the caption, he wrote, “Elbow’s feelin’ better 💪🏾“. The veteran then added, “2 sec peak hold, with deep stretch at the bottom. These are a biiii**h and kicks my a** but super effective and one of my fav DB rowing exercises.”

Following the update on recovery, fans may have been a bit relieved about his comeback to the wrestling promotion. Even though we still don’t have confirmation for anything, there is a chance that we can predict his return in advance.

When can we see Dwayne Johnson in WWE next?

“Final Boss” left WWE fans on a cliffhanger when he went on a hiatus following Monday Night Raw after WrestleMania XL. Since then, the viewers are predicting when he may come back to feud with the reigning Undisputed Universal Champion again or take over The Bloodline. When the elbow injury struck, there must have been a disappointment among fans regarding his potential return to the Stamford-based company.

Now that we have received an update, we can see that the wrestler will probably recover sooner than expected and start working on the movie again if some scenes from it are still left to be shot. Then, he might be free to get booked for SummerSlam this year.
