Dustin Rhodes said he has a busted eardrum in a video posted today to social media.

“Hey guys, rough night. Got five stitches in the head. Pretty sore. The main thing is that I have a busted eardrum. Cannot hear out of it at all. But guess what? I’m in good spirits and I’m not going anywhere,” he said.

During Dustin’s match against Lance Archer, which was taped Wednesday and aired Friday on Rampage, Dustin was bleeding from his ear.

In most cases, hearing loss from a ruptured eardrum is temporary and hearing returns once the eardrum heals, which is typically within a couple of months, according to WebMD.
