EXCLUSIVE: More On Tomko's Injury & WWE Status

According to our sources, Tomko's injury is not as bad as is being reported on some websites. WWE requested that Tomko get an MRI last week and he did once he returned home. The MRI revealed a tear in the back of his Deltoid. It could require surgery but for now he'll just be doing rehab for the next 4-6 weeks. The pec injury that is being reported on some websites is way far fetched and not the case at all. That injury happened years ago during a match with Abyss.

The Deltoid tear happened during the early part of his dark match with WWE last week. Tomko made an in-ring 'audible' where they went to the finish of the match due to the injury. That is also the reason for a missed spot.

Tomko and WWE officials talked after the match and they are well aware of the current injury and the rehab time needed.
