It was announced during the WWE Payback Kickoff show that Drew McIntyre suffered a hairline fracture of his jaw when he took the third punk kick from Randy Orton last Monday on Raw.
WWE previously said that McIntyre may have suffered a skull fracture and potential bran bleeding, which is a career-threatening injury. The update provided during the Kickoff show means that McIntyre should be back in the ring at some point in the near future. Of course, all of this injury news is storyline-related and McIntyre is fine.
The belief is that McIntyre will face Orton next month at the Clash of Champions pay-per-view.
