More Backstage Details on Dominik Mysterio Suffering a Shoulder Injury at AAA Guerra de Titanes

As previously reported, WWE Superstar, reigning Intercontinental Champion, and AAA Mega Champion, Dominik Mysterio, reportedly suffered a shoulder injury last Saturday (December 20) at AAA Guerra de Titanes in Guadalajara, Mexico. This week’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter has more details on Mysterio’s shoulder injury.

It was previously said that Mysterio hurt his shoulder after taking a DDT from Rey Mysterio during the main event tag team bout featuring Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix vs. Dominik and El Grande Americano. It was also said that Dominik “could barely use his arm at all after the injury.”

Meltzer noted that usually when an injury like this happens in WWE, a doctor would come out and look at it, but he says that didn’t happen, so it wouldn’t detract from the match.

It’s also said that Dominik was still “hurting the next day” and still needed to get his shoulder checked out and evaluated. Although Dominik Mysterio did appear on the new episode of WWE Raw that debuted on Netflix two nights later, that show was taped the night before (Dec. 19), along with Friday Night SmackDown.

Doninik Mysterio continued working the match despite his injured shoulder, and even took a Michinoku Driver. Mysterio then hit Dominik with a 619 and a Splash for the pinfall victory for himself and Rey Fenix.
