Zack Ryder Suffers Knee Injury During Battle Royal On WWE SmackDown Live

This week on WWE SmackDown Live Zack Ryder earned a Tag Team Title shot for The Hype Bros. when he won a battle royal, but unfortunately for Ryder, he injured himself in the process.

WWE.com has confirmed that Zack Ryder suffered a knee injury on this week’s episode of SmackDown Live, and Ryder was helped to the back after the battle royal. He is also currently on crutches.

“We think he injured his kneecap or his patella. We think it popped out and then popped back in, so we’re just going to do an MRI to make sure that there is not cartilage damage or some tendon tearing, stuff like that,” according to WWE’s Dr. Chris Robinson. “Hopefully there’s not and it’ll be a shorter rehab period. If there is, there’s a different road we might have to go down that may take longer to get him to recover.”

According to WWE they should have an update on Zack Ryder’s condition tomorrow following his MRI.
