Word of the latest WWE injury comes via Jim Ross:

According to sources close to WWE, Cesaro may have torn rotator cuff. If he seeks surgery for this treatment, he could be out of action anywhere from four to six months. This is another horrible injury that comes on the heels of Seth Rollins' knee injury and Randy Orton's shoulder injury. Elsewhere in the midcard, Rusev and Lana are both out while recovering from recent injuries.

While this isn't the worst injury that could happen for WWE at the current time, it's definitely one that will be felt the most by hardcore fans.

Cesaro seemed to be right on the verge of breaking through into the main event scene, especially with his strong showing in the WWE World Heavyweight Championship tournament. Instead, he will be joining his tag team partner Tyson Kidd on the disabled list.

It isn't clear at this time when or how Cesaro's shoulder injury occurred. Regardless, this is awful for the overall WWE product and this rash of injuries is quickly turning into a frightening epidemic.

****UPDATE****

The injury to Cesaro (Claudio Castagnoli) was confirmed today by WWE as a torn rotator cuff in his left shoulder.

The injury was reported yesterday when Cesaro was pulled from his not announced but planned match last night at the Survivor Series.

In an interview on the WWE web site, Cesaro said he suffered the injury two months ago, but essentially ignored it, not realizing the severity of it. He said he had maintained range of motion and he was hurt, but his strength wasn't down significantly. He said he was continuing to train on it. This past week he had the shoulder examined and found it was a complete tear.

He said he just got the word of the tear today and his having surgery this afternoon. We had been told last night that he would probably be needing surgery, but that was to be determined, and this morning were told he was getting the shoulder evaluated.

Cesaro said he was told he'd be out of action four to six months.

The complete story is up at WWE.com.

This sounds almost exactly the same as the deal with Orton.
