(Updated with official WWE statement below original post)
Man, The Revival cannot catch a break and they may go too hard. It’s Scott Dawson’s turn to go down injured, this time with a bicep that could require surgery, Pro Wrestling Sheet reports.
No one’s yet sure when the injury occurred, but at the WWE live show on Saturday, Dawson’s arm was wrapped up, as shown in a tweet by Dash Wilder embedded below. If surgery is required, he could be looking at 4 to 6 months out of the ring to recover. If it’s a partial tear, he could be back as soon as 3-6 weeks. A match hadn’t been officially announced, but they have been feuding with the Hardys.
It should be noted that The Revival did wrestle on Saturday (with Dawson’s bicep taped) at a house show in Saint John, Halifax, then also wrestled the next night in London, Ontario, losing to Sheamus and Cesaro both nights.
Hopefully it’s not as bad as it seems because this would be a terrible time after Dash Wilder was injured and just coming back from a fractured jaw that kept him out for months. With Bayley out as well, WWE’s plans may need a shake up.

One arm. Broken jaw. Doesn't matter. We're still the best tag team walking the planet. You can delay us, but you can't stop us.
