NXT Superstar Tino Sabbatelli will be out of action for several months after suffering an injury at last Saturday's NXT live event in Largo, Florida.
According to F4WOnline, Sabbatelli tore his pectoral muscle during a main event match against Velveteen Dream. Sources say that the injury occurred when Dream gave him a dropkick. Sabbatelli immediately grabbed his chest and they finished the match moments later with Dream hitting him with the Purple Rainmaker.
Sabbatelli has recently undergone surgery for the injury, which will require him to be out six to nine months.
It’s a shame, as it seemed as if WWE was starting to give the 34-year-old a singles push.
Sabbatelli left his tag team partner Riddick Moss to fend for himself in their match against Heavy Machinery last week. The two had been teasing a break-up for months due to frequent losses, but this interview where he declared Moss as "dead weight" made it official.
