As reported earlier, Tyson Tomko was seen sporting his arm in a sling the day after the Raw taping. He is dealing with a torn pectoral muscle according to sources. Some people in WWE believe Tomko went into his dark match at Raw in Pittsburgh against Paul Burchill with the injury, but didn’t inform management.
While Tomko got a good reaction from the Pittsburgh crowd, including a “Let’s go Tomko” chant early during his dark match, Vince McMahon wasn’t too pleased with what he saw according to those backstage. McMahon was unhappy with Tomko’s dark match, according to several sources. A video of Tomko’s dark match has surfaced online and one minute in, he was unable to take a proper snapmare from Burchill. His work in the match was said to be really off compared to his solid/great work in TNA. It could have just been an ‘off’ night as it happens to the best of us. Nobody is perfect.
In light of McMahon’s reaction to the bout, this led to a lot of talk within WWE that Tomko’s return to the company may be a short one. A number of people in WWE were immediately parroting McMahon’s feelings over the last few days, also noting he looked heavier for the match. This could indicate that he was unable to work out properly with the pectoral tear?
Some rumors on Tomko being released from the WWE have already surfaced, but they have yet to be confirmed. More talents releases are expected to be made over the next month.
NOTE FROM RYAN CLARK: I am currently trying to reach Tomko and his people so I can get their side of the story. I would much rather not speculate and get the story right. I hope to hear from them soon as I believe there is much more to the story than what has been reported. Stay tuned to the site.
