Injuries are part of the wrestling industry since the superstars are taking bumps and performing high-risk maneuvers almost every day. Some of the superstars currently injured include Rusev, Chris Jericho, Austin Aries and Finn Balor.
Rusev was seen wearing a face mask on Sunday while Jericho appeared to have suffered a foot injury at the Royal Rumble Match. Here are the latest updates on the WWE injuries to Rusev, Jericho, Aries and Balor.
Rusev breaks nose on Raw last week
According to Cageside Seats, Rusev suffered a broken nose last week on Monday Night Raw. He failed to protect himself when Kofi Kingston hit him with a diving crossbody. Rusev was caught right in the face and his nose was legitimately broken.
However, the injury did not prevent him from wrestling in the Royal Rumble match and on this week's Raw. He will continue wearing the protective mask to prevent further damage to his nose. He also has Lana to take care of him so he'll be alright.
Chris Jericho injured at the Royal Rumble Match
Cageside Seats also reported that Jericho sustained an ankle sprain during the Royal Rumble Match. It happened after he took a suplex from Brock Lesnar. Jericho was seen in pain after the spot and he immediately got out of the ring.
The reigning United States champion would not be denied as he returned to the match. He also wrestled on Monday Night Raw which means his injury was only a minor one. He had a pretty good match with Sami Zayn and he did not show any signs of his injury.
Finn Balor and Austin Aries injury update
Balor, who is recovering from a shoulder injury, was possibly not cleared to return at the Royal Rumble. He was scheduled to undergo medical testing last week, per PW Insider. If he was cleared to wrestle, he surely would have been a surprise entrant.
It should be noted that Balor's shoulder injury included 180-degree labrum tear, a torn bicep, a torn pectoral tendon, some cartilage damage and a fractured glenoid neck socket. As for Aries, he teased a possible feud with Tony Nese in this week's episode of Raw.
