Mutadi proved that he was built tough by continuing to spend the night. He continued the party despite the injuries and seemed to believe he was in a better shape after returning to his hotel room for a good night’s sleep. When he woke up on Sunday morning, the pain in his shoulder told another story. He went to see a local doctor and ordered an x-ray.
TMZ reported that Muhtadi suffers from grade III AC (cromioclavicular) joint (total) separation, but thankfully no surgical intervention is required. The former WWE wrestler and TMZ sports television host will spend the next few weeks in the sling and are expected to be OK after that.

According to TMZ, he kept the pain pushing by attending a full day at a WrestleMania event on Sunday.
“Something never changes. Dean is always known for bringing hype. But after a shoulder injury, he went back to the second day to finish the contest, giving it a whole new meaning as to what the hype really is.”

Cabrera weighed the events that occurred.
“Watching Mojo splitting his shorts during a dance battle on my set was a highlight of my DJ career!!! It’s a true testament to his dedication to victory. The man even dislocated his shoulder, said Cabrera. (Related: Actor Deron Horton reveals horrifying photos after being shot in the arm)
