WWE Releases Statement on Sin Cara Injury

During his match with World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio last night (August 19th) on Monday Night RAW, Sin Cara suffered an undisclosed injury—later revealed to be a dislocated finger—which caused him to stop the match on his own merit.

WWE has now posted an official statement on the injury.

“Sin Cara flew again on Monday Night Raw, but the soaring International Sensation was cut down almost as quickly as his return began when he suffered an injury to his hand during a match with World Heavyweight Champion Alberto Del Rio.

“‘During the match he did a dive outside of the ring and landed on his finger and dislocated his 4thring finger,’ said WWE physician Dr. Michael Sampson. ‘I evaluated it, I reduced it – meaning I relocated it – in the ring, and brought him back to the training room.’

“According to Sampson, an injury such as this does carry risk, which is why the bout was stopped and Sin Cara is currently slated to undergo further testing. ‘We’re going get X-rays tomorrow to make sure he doesn’t have an avulsion fracture,’ said Sampson. ‘Hopefully we’ll be able to finger splint him and he’ll be able to wrestle, but it’ll be determined after x-rays tomorrow.'”
