Angel Garza was injured at Sunday’s Clash of Champions pay-per-view during a tag match against the Street Profits. The injury happened when Garza connected with a knee strike to Montez Ford. On Monday, it was thought he had either torn his quad or injured his hip and could be out for a while. Thankfully though he has revealed on YouTube, he only suffered a small quad tear and will probably be back within three weeks. He’d describe the injury and WWE’s actions in more detail, which you can read excerpts of below.
I remember giving Andrade the tag, and he asked me what’s wrong, and I tell him that I can’t go anymore. WWE has a system that’s really effective where they have all the doctors and medical personnel watching the matches on monitors, and they quickly go to the ring to see what’s going on.
They told me to get an MRI, and I got the results, and thankfully, it wasn’t anything involving the tendons or with my hip as some outlets have reported. It was a quad tear, and we already began treatment. I’ve been putting ice on it and bandages for the tear.
Thank God that it wasn’t anything long-term, like five or six months. They told me if I had continued, I could have completely torn and would have been out for a very long time. I don’t think it will even be a month to fully recover. I’m not going to be needing surgery. I’ll probably be only out for a week to three weeks since the injury.Angel Garza
Angel Garza was one of Paul Heyman’s pet projects on Raw, and under him got to work with Drew McIntyre, Rey Mysterio, and Kevin Owens. However, following Heyman’s removal as executive director, he would predominantly work as part of a tag team with Andrade.
