As previously reported, reigning WWE Intercontinental Champion and AAA Mega Champion "Dirty" Dominik Mysterio suffered a shoulder injury at the AAA Guerra de Titanes event on December 20th in Guadalajara, Mexico. Dominik reportedly injured his shoulder after taking a DDT from WWE Hall of Famer and his father, Rey Mysterio, during the main event tag team match featuring Rey Mysterio and Rey Fenix against Dominik and El Grande Americano. It was said that Dominik could barely use his arm after the injury.
Despite his injured shoulder, Dominik continued to work through the match and even took a Michinoku Driver. Rey Mysterio then performed a 619 followed by a Splash, securing the pinfall victory for himself and Rey Fenix.
According to Dave Meltzer in the latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter, typically in WWE when an injury occurs, a doctor would come out to assess it. However, this did not happen during the match to avoid disrupting the flow. Meltzer also mentioned that Dominik was still in considerable pain the following day and needed to have his shoulder checked out and evaluated. Although Dominik appeared on the new episode of RAW that was released on Netflix two nights later, that episode was taped the night before, on December 19th, along with Friday Night SmackDown.
