On the September 12, 2022 episode of WWE Raw, Dominik Mysterio took on Edge (Adam Copeland aka Cope in AEW) in singles competition.
Edge was victorious in the bout by DQ, and Dominik didn't walk away unscathed.
Appearing on the Not Sam Wrestling podcast with Sam Roberts, Dominik noted that his ribs are always hurting for some reason.
"It's probably a lingering thing from when I punctured a lung with Edge, that one match. That's what it could be, but it's also probably from the spears (from Bron Breakker)," he said.
Asked about the punctured lung, Dominik recalled, "I did the frog splash and it had been a long time since I had wrestled at that point, so I came up a little short and cracked a small rib and that punctured my lung. It's what happened with JD [McDonagh]. His was ten times worse. We were in Portland, Oregon and I had a 7 AM flight back home and I got to the hospital at maybe midnight. They did X-rays and I was like, 'Hey, can I just get the fuck home.' They were like, 'You can't fly with one of these. We can do X-rays at 5 AM again and if it's small enough, it's your choice.' They did it and they were like, 'It's small enough. It's your choice.' 'Get me the fuck home.'"
Dominik would return to the ring on the October 17th episode of WWE Raw against AJ Styles.
Dominik won the WWE Intercontinental Championship at WrestleMania 41 Sunday, defeating Bron Breakker, Finn Balor, and Penta in a four-way bout.
