UPDATE: Alberto Del Rio’s back injury happened while taking a suplex from Brock Lesnar during the WWE Royal Rumble pay-per-view match. Del Rio will be re-evaluated Monday at RAW and they’ll have a better idea of his status after that.
ORIGINAL: It seems like the injury bug has struck again.
Alberto Del Rio is currently dealing with a problem in his lower back. He was last in two matches at the 2016 Royal Rumble, against Kalisto and the Rumble match itself at #26. He was also involved in a beatdown of Roman Reigns before he entered the match.
Del Rio didn’t wrestle on RAW but did appear in the corner of Sheamus and Rusev in the main event. He didn’t appear on Smackdown and wasn’t even backstage at the tapings on Tuesday. It remains to be seen if he works this weekend’s live events, as he’s scheduled for shows in Chattanooga, TN and Tupelo, MS.
