Report: Former WWE champion may be legitimately injured

Hopefully he doesn't miss significant time.

Monday night, WWE set the pieces in place for Dean Ambrose to miss time if needed as PWInsider reports he is legitimately dealing with an elbow injury.

Ambrose is reportedly set to travel to Alabama to have the issue diagnosed, but there is currently no word on if he'll miss time or not.

WWE worked an angle that started with Seth Rollins "injuring" Ambrose during their six-man tag team match on Monday Night Raw, a loss to the Bar and Samoa Joe.

That continued backstage with Ambrose having his arm slammed into an equipment case.

Hopefully Ambrose won't miss significant time. He's the second member of the Shield to miss time after they reunited, with Roman Reigns missing Tables, Ladders and Chairs with a viral infection.
