Scott Dawson Injured, Surgery Likely (Updated)

(Updated with official WWE statement below original post)

Man, The Revival cannot catch a break and they may go too hard. It’s Scott Dawson’s turn to go down injured, this time with a bicep that could require surgery, Pro Wrestling Sheet reports.

No one’s yet sure when the injury occurred, but at the WWE live show on Saturday, Dawson’s arm was wrapped up, as shown in a tweet by Dash Wilder embedded below. If surgery is required, he could be looking at 4 to 6 months out of the ring to recover. If it’s a partial tear, he could be back as soon as 3-6 weeks. A match hadn’t been officially announced, but they have been feuding with the Hardys.

It should be noted that The Revival did wrestle on Saturday (with Dawson’s bicep taped) at a house show in Saint John, Halifax, then also wrestled the next night in London, Ontario, losing to Sheamus and Cesaro both nights.

Hopefully it’s not as bad as it seems because this would be a terrible time after Dash Wilder was injured and just coming back from a fractured jaw that kept him out for months. With Bayley out as well, WWE’s plans may need a shake up.


Update

WWE posted this video confirming the injury, saying that Scott Dawson has a ruptured bicep and would be out for an “undetermined amount of time.” Medical sites say that if surgery is required, he would be out for 4-6 months.

WWE.com also posted this update, saying that the “treatment most likely will require surgical repair.”

The Revival’s Scott Dawson suffered a ruptured biceps tendon tear while competing at a WWE Live Event this weekend, WWE.com can now confirm.

The injury occurred during a tag team match pitting The Revival against Raw Tag Team Champions Cesaro & Sheamus.

“[Dawson’s] injury is consistent with a ruptured right distal biceps tendon,” WWE Senior Ringside Physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com. “He will be seen for a surgical consult early this week with the treatment most likely requiring surgical repair.”

It is unknown at this time when Dawson will be able to return to the ring. Stay with WWE.com as more details on Dawson’s condition become available.
