Dean Ambrose Has Triceps Injury, Likely Will Need Surgery

WWE announced that Dean Ambrose may have a torn triceps tendon and will “most likely” require surgery. No word on how long he will be out yet, but it could potentially be months, depending on how serious the injury is. WWE said that he is undergoing a “surgical exploration” tonight to determine the extent of the injury.

As mentioned yesterday, he was injured before Raw took place and WWE wrote an angle where he “injured” his arm during his match, then was attacked by Samoa Joe backstage and “sent to a medical facility.”

Here’s WWE’s post:

Dean Ambrose suffers arm injury on Raw

DEC. 19 UPDATE: After sustaining an injury to his right arm last night during Raw, Dean Ambrose is currently undergoing further examination by noted orthopedic surgeon Dr. Jeffrey Dugas, WWE.com can confirm.

“An MRI has shown suspicion for a high-grade triceps tendon injury, possibly a tear, so he is undergoing surgical exploration and most likely surgical repair of the torn triceps tendon,” WWE Senior Ringside Physician Dr. Chris Amann told WWE.com. “That surgery will be happening later this evening, and we should have some further updates either later tonight or tomorrow morning as to what the findings were, what the structures that were damaged were, and also a timeline for recovery.”
