Monday’s WWE RAW show in Columbus, Ohio featured Dominik Mysterio wearing a sling on his arm for his appearance on the show.
During a backstage segment on the show involving Judgement Day, Mysterio showed up with a sling on his arm and told Damian Priest that he was “banged up” and brought in Santos Escobar to be his replacement for JD McDonagh’s tag team partner for their match tonight. Mysterio also stated that he had cleared this up with the GMs, Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis. Priest responded back being annoyed over not being told about this beforehand and told Escobar to handle things.
