While The Miz faked an injury to Dexter Lumis on Monday’s episode of RAW, it turns out that he’s actually been working through a legitimate injury.
During a recent appearance on NFL running back Austin Ekeler’s “Ekeler’s Edge” podcast, Missionary Mike commented on working with a busted bursa sac. For those unaware, that is a fluid sac that reduces friction in joints.
You can check out some highlights from the podcast below:
On working hurt: “I just got back from Monday Night RAW, I didn’t have a match, but anytime you have matches, and we have matches over the weekend, any match, your entire body is sore. My neck, my body. When I’m done, I don’t feel it, then the next day I’m like, ‘Where is this coming from?’ I have a bursa sac that I burst that just keeps blowing up. It’ll go away and then comes back. I messed up my shoulder a little bit. You try to workout and work through it and maintain your body.”
On working a dark match on SmackDown: “Just this week, I have to go to SmackDown…I’m not a SmackDown superstar, I’m a Raw superstar, there are two brands. I’m going on Friday just to do the main event dark to give them something a little more. That live crowd, you’re not going to see me on TV, but that live crowd will see me. It’s just that night.”
