Previously Injured Wrestler Spotted In Town Ahead Of Tonight’s Raw
In unfortunate news, almost four months ago, Latino World Order member Cruz Del Toro revealed on Instagram that he had undergone surgery on his arm. At the time, the wrestler wouldn’t go into specific details regarding the injury, although as he participated in Andre The Giant Memorial Battle Royal earlier in the month, it’s likely it was a new injury. However, with the luchador having been seen without his cast, PWInsider.com has now reported that he has been spotted in St. Paul, Minnesota, where Raw is taking place. 32-year-old Del Toro, real name Raúl Mendoza, first entered the wrestling business in 2006 and spent the next decade making his name on the Mexican independent circuit while occasionally working for AAA. Yet, his true big break would come in 2016 when he participated in the WWE Cruiserweight Classic. And while he lost a first-round match to Brian Kendrick, he impressed the company enough to eventually earn a full-time contract, debuting on NXT the following year.
