As noted, Alberto Del Rio is currently dealing with a lower back injury, and it appears the injury is why he did not wrestle at WW TV this past week. Del Rio was not backstage at this past Tuesday night’s Smackdown tapings.

According to F4WOnline.com, Del Rio suffered the injury after taking a vertical suplex from Brock Lesnar in the Royal Rumble match.

Del Rio will be evaluated again at Raw on Monday night in Birmingham, Alabama, and his status should be clearer following the evaluation. As noted, Del Rio vs Kalisto for the U.S. Title is a rumored match for WWE Fastlane next month.
