With WWE's Dominik Mysterio having been out of action since last month, the Judgment Day man has now provided fans with an injury update.

Speaking on The Ringer's Masked Man Show (via WrestlingHeadlines), Dirty Dom explained that he's healing up pretty well and that it shouldn't be too long before he'll be back in the ring and cracking skulls.

As Mysterio put it:

"[My] arm is good. [The arm is] healing up good. I had a slight tear in my Tommy John ligament, which was kind of a freak accident in the wrestling world because it's a baseball injury. About six to eight weeks, I've been doing two times a week for rehab. I'm just trying to get healthy and get back out there to help Judgment Day so they can physically start hurting again."

For those unaware, Tommy John Surgery is something synonymous with baseball players, with this a procedure done to repair ligaments in the elbow. It was previously reported that Dominik would be undergoing this surgery, but such reports have been debunked by various outlets and by Mysterio himself.

While it's unclear if the injury actually happened in this particularly match, Dom was last in action on the 15 April edition of WWE Raw in a losing effort against Andrade. Despite his injury, Mysterio has still remained an active presence on TV as part of the Judgment Day.
