Rusev injured his ankle right during his match against Ryback at Tuesday night’s SmackDown tapings from Wilkes-Barre, PA.
The match ended abruptly, with Rusev getting the win via DQ after Ryback sent him head first into the ring post. WWE trainers came to ringside and helped Rusev to the backstage area.
The following photo has been circulating on Twitter showing Rusev in a wheelchair with crutches after the taping.
Rusev is scheduled to compete for the vacant Intercontinental championship match this Sunday at Elimination Chamber. We’ll post an update when it becomes available.
