WWE filmed an angle on Monday where Dean Ambrose’s arm was injured by the Bar and Samoa Joe. The decision to shoot the angle was apparently last minute and meant to explain Ambrose’s absence due to a legit injury he suffered earlier. Ambrose possibly has a torn tricep which may require surgery.

It is likely Ambrose will miss WrestleMania this year as the typical recovery time for a torn tricep is around 6 months.

INJURY UPDATE: An MRI has shown suspicion for a high-grade triceps tendon injury, so @TheDeanAmbrose is undergoing surgical exploration and most likely surgical repair of the torn triceps tendon. https://t.co/uMh8c72K6A — WWE (@WWE) December 20, 2017

Dean Ambrose Injury

Ambrose’s injury also puts a damper on the Raw house show circuit as well. Currently, these shows are featuring the Shield vs. Joe and the Bar, and Matt Hardy vs. Bray Wyatt as the feature matches. Ambrose’s injury will require the lineup for the shows be shaken up somewhat.
