Dominik Mysterio Confirms Legitimate Rib Injury
Speaking on The Club 520 podcast, “Dirty Dom” addressed the fan speculation that he was faking an injury to get out of his scheduled match with AJ Styles. He detailed the specific nature of the real injury he was dealing with.
“I dislocated my two lower ribs and they were digging into my cartilage. So that was why I was actually hurt,” Mysterio said. “Everyone thought I was faking it, but I was actually hurt.”

This Saturday, August 16, he will compete in a four-way match for the AAA Mega Championship at Triplemania XXXIII. The full interview with Dominik Mysterio can be heard on The Club 520 podcast.
