A Closer Look at Dominik Mysterio’s Kendo Stick Injuries From WWE Raw

Dominik Mysterio officially signed the contract for a match with Seth Rollins at SummerSlam on this week’s Raw, and his reward was a merciless attack by “The Monday Night Messiah” and Murphy. The pair tied Mysterio’s arms in the ropes and began repeatedly nailing him with kendo stick shots, leaving his back, chest and arms covered in welts. By the end of the segment the 23-year-old had endured 30 hits and couldn’t even stay on his knees long enough for Rollins to hit a Curb Stomp. Later in the show WWE gruesome shared photos of Dominik from backstage.

Numerous WWE stars have since commented on the attack, saying that they support Mysterio.

Rey Mysterio, who has been off WWE television since “losing” his eye at The Horror Show at Extreme Rules, vowed revenge on Rollins. Throughout the attack, Rollins kept waving at the camera and mocking Rey for being unable to help his son.
