Following Dean Ambrose’s successful surgery last Tuesday night to repair a high-grade triceps tend🐠on injury, Michael Cole took a moment during the Dec. 25 episode of Raw to confirm that The Lunatic Fringe will be out of action for approximately nine months.

Ambrose’s successful procedure was perform🌼ed by Dr. Jeffrey Dugas in Birmingham, Ala., and took around 40 minutes.

“He tore some of the distal triceps tendon where it attaches to the forearm bone, called the olecranon,” Dr. Dugas told WWE.com. “He basically tore about 50 percent of the triceps tendon away from the bone. So y🍬esterday we repaired that back down to the bone where it tore off of. The surgery was very straightforward; we removed all of the extra bursal tissue — all of that extra swollen stuff around his elbow.”

Dugas added that Ambrose has begun physical ther💜apy, startin💎g with light range-of-motion exercises.

WWE have been known to work injury lengths in order to surp🍎rise fans upon the return of superstars. Given how private Ambrosꦇe is, it's unlikely that he'll be providing additional information. 

Ambrose was written off WWE TV last week 𓂃following an attack by Samoa Joe, Cesaro and Sheamus.
