Apollo Crews suffered torn pec on recent WWE SmackDown

Apollo Crews will be on the shelf for a while after suffering an injury on a recent episode of WWE SmackDown. In an Instagram post today, Crews revealed that he is in Birmingham, Alabama to undergo surgery for a torn pec. The injury happened when Crews faced Johnny Gargano on the January 24 episode of SmackDown. After a spot where Crews got hurt while taking a backcracker, he favored his shoulder for the rest of the match but got the win by rolling up Gargano. Crews is keeping a positive mindset despite the injury, saying it’s one of those things that is just beyond his control. “Heading into surgery today,” Crews wrote. “A few weeks ago on SmackDown, I tore my pec—an unfortunate situation. Sometimes, you do everything right, but there are just some things beyond your control. I’m looking forward to the road ahead, attacking it with a positive and unstoppable mindset.” Crews did not say how much time he expects to miss, but a torn pec could potentially mean several months out of action.
