Meltzer also noted on the latest issue of The Wrestling Observer Newsletter that Ambrose might have actually been dealing with the injury since WWE TLC this year, when Ambrose took a bump on a table that did not break, resulting in immediate swelling of Ambrose’s elbow. WWE TLC took place on October 22nd, but he continued working through the injury, which might have lead to him now needing surgery.

One WWE Raw star who has no sympathy for Dean Ambrose and his current injury is The Bar member Cesaro, as The Swiss Cyborg Tweeted the following after receiving word of Ambrose’s need of surgery:

“Oh no, such sad news… I’m sorry to hear that… @WWESheamus and I just held a minute of silence for poor Dean. You mess with #TheBAR you get the horns #RAW@WWESheamus feat. @SamoaJoe.”
