Wade Barrett Injured

Wade Barrett suffered an injury during tonight's 10-man battle royal on RAW. Barrett apparently injured his left arm while catching Dolph Ziggler outside of the ring, who was thrown over the top by the Big Show. Barrett immediately grabbed his arm and yelled "F--k" a couple of times, the second of which was bleeped on the air. Medics put his arm in an air cast and walked him to the back.

After being taken to a nearby medical facility for further evaluation he was diagnosed with a dislocated elbow. Ziggler was also hurt when his shoulder and arm hit the broadcast table during the match. He was examined backstage and is said to be fine. Cody Rhodes, Kofi Kingston and R-Truth were also hurt during the bout and received medical attention backstage. Rhodes hurt his elbow and right leg. Kingston appeared shaken up but was not seriously injured. R-Truth was assisted to the backstage area following the match.

Wade Barrett was released from a hospital with a partially dislocated elbow and likely won't need surgery or a cast on the arm. He will be missing some in-ring time but probably will not miss WrestleMania 28. WWE agent "Road Dogg" BG James indicated on Twitter that Barrett may indeed miss the big show on April 1st. We're still waiting on confirmation from WWE.
