WWE World champion Batista suffered a muscle tear in his back at tonight's Smackdown taping in Indiana. During a show closing angle, Batista was hit with a double chokeslam. When Randy Orton came down for the post-taping dark match, Batista was down 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 and Batista was in a lot of pain. WWE was making arrangements to have him checked out tomorrow, possibly by James Andrews in Alabama.
If he's down for any period of time, it's a major blow to the Smackdown brand and will obviously change the face of at least the Survivor Series PPV.
