Update: Sting Recovering at Home, Not Expected to Appear During “Monday Night Raw”

Original reports had “The Vigilante” Sting set to appear during “Monday Night Raw” tonight after injuring himself during his WWE World Heavyweight Championship match at “Night of Champions” Sunday.

That no longer appears to be the case, as TMZ Sports has since provided the following update on his condition:

Sting is recovering at home Monday, after sustaining a serious neck injury … so serious doctors are not able to give a long-term prognosis, TMZ Sports has learned. 

Sting was seriously hurt Sunday night in the WWE championship match against Seth Rollins. We’re told he was injured several times during the match,  the most serious being the powerbomb against the turnbuckle which caused the neck injury. 

Our wrestling sources tell us, doctors did a CAT scan at the hospital Sunday and thankfully there were no fractures. Sting was released Monday afternoon and is on his way home.  He’s able to walk but is in significant pain.

Sting’s manager also provided more context on the former WCW World Champion’s official Facebook page, writing how he’s “optimistic he [Sting] will have a speedy recovery and return to full health soon.”
