Zack Ryder injury update

Zack Ryder remains hospitalized after being chokeslammed by Kane through the stage on Monday’s Raw SuperShow. According to early reports from medical personnel at a nearby Phoenix trauma center, the former United States Champion reportedly suffered a broken back as a result of the fall. The incident occurred during a brutal Falls Count Anywhere Match between the two Superstars. Kane spent much of the match pummeling Ryder at ringside before the action spilled up the ramp, where Kane shockingly launched Long Island Iced-Z through the stage floor with the chokeslam.

Following the vicious maneuver, WWE officials, as well as Eve and John Cena, rushed to the fallen Superstar’s side. Medical personnel assessed Ryder for several minutes before placing him onto a stretcher and transporting him into an ambulance backstage at the U.S. Airways Center. During the program, Jerry Lawler, working off unconfirmed reports, informed the WWE Universe that Ryder had sustained a broken back. WWE officials have confirmed the chokeslam exacerbated previous injuries Ryder had already sustained as a result of a separate attack by Kane.

It is not yet known how long this injury will keep Ryder out of action.
