WWE WORLD CHAMPION BATISTA SUFFERS MAJOR INJURY
WWE World champion Batista suffered a muscle tear in his back at last night's Smackdown taping in Indiana. During a show closing angle, Batista was hit with a double chokeslam. When Randy Orton came down to the ring for their post-taping dark match, Batista was still down and remained on the mat for some time. They did a quick three minute match which featured Orton on offense followed by a quick spinebuster for the pin.
When Batista returned to the locker room, it was said that he had obviously torn his latissimus dorsi, a muscle on the upper back that connects under each arm. The muscle was said to have appeared to have rolled up. Batista was in a lot of pain. WWE was making arrangements to have him checked out today, presumably by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama, who has treated major injuries for a number of WWE stars.
If Batista's down for any period of time, it's a major blow to the Smackdown brand as he's the centerpiece of that side of the WWE roster. It likely the situation will at least change the face of the Survivor Series PPV, although it's too early to officially confirm that.
This is a huge blow to my team this year. Hopefully it isnt as bad as it seems. |

If he has a torn lat, I'd imagine that's pretty major and a multiple month injury....i.e. didn't HHH tear a pectoral muscle a while back?
WTF does SD do for a champ? Does this turn the heat up on Vince to bring Lesnar into the fold?

BATISTA TO MAKE CRUCIAL DECISION THIS WEEKEND
- Batista - who suffered an injury last Friday during the Smackdown!
tapings - is currently in Birmingham, AL., to get checked by Dr James
Andrews. He underwent an MRI on a torn muscle he got in his upper back.
WWE.COM stated that the World champion has a difficult decision to make,
either rehab his back or fix the problem with surgery. If he goes for
surgery, Batista will be out of action for around three months, ending
his World Heavyweight title reign which has been going on since
WrestleMania 21.
