– Dolph Ziggler returned to action this past week after being kept out since the Survivor Series pay-per-view, due to a concussion from a stiff Kaval kick in their Intercontinental Title match. Ziggler said on Twitter that he wasn’t injured but sources say otherwise.
– Rey Mysterio has recovered from his recent ear infection but has been having shoulder problems this past week. Rey visited Dr. James Andrews who diagnosed the injury as a tear, but didn’t feel like Rey needed surgery.
Rey was told he needed rehab on the shoulder and that he needed to take a few weeks off. Rey still worked this past weekend and the SmackDown tapings. Rey’s match with Alberto Del Rio at TLC was originally planned to be a Ladder Match but that was changed due to the injury.
– Several other WWE stars are currently working banged up. One wrestler notes that a lot of the talents need time off and this year they don’t have the usual Christmas break that they’ve had in the past.
