WWE World champion Batista suffered a muscle tear in his back at tonight's Smackdown taping in Indiana. During a show closing angle.

When Randy Orton came down to the ring for their post-taping dark match, Batista was still down and remained on the mat for some time. They did a quick three minute match which featured Orton on offense followed by a quick spinebuster for the pin.

When Batista returned to the locker room, it was said that he had obviously torn his latissimus dorsi, a muscle on the upper back that connects under each arm. The muscle was said to have appeared to have rolled up. Batista was in a lot of pain. WWE was making arrangements to have him checked out tomorrow, presumably by Dr. James Andrews in Birmingham, Alabama, who has treated major injuries for a number of WWE stars.

Post taping match? Does that happen often with the champ?

I know i saw earlier WWF stuff from tapes that i got from my mums friend or my aunt but my earliest memories of wrestling are "surfer" Sting and of Vader on WCW Worldwide on ITV on Saturday afternoons.

Since audiences started falling, yes.

yeah, it happens 95% of the time when it's a non-PPV show.

SO he'd wrestle during the show then again straight after?

[retired_derek]

yes

It also sounds like a pretty bad tear. What will happen to the title?
