WWE star Zack Ryder has cruelly been forced to pull out of the Greatest Royal Rumble through injury.
The former Intercontinental Champion damaged his knee during a taped fight for the company’s Main Event show.
Ryder’s dedication to putting on a show for fans despite not performing on one of the main television programmes looks like it has cost him dear.
And as the rest of the Raw and SmackDown rosters jetted off for the huge spectacular in Saudi Arabia on Friday, he is now heading to Orlando for an MRI scan.
The 32-year-old, real name Matthew Cardona, broke the news himself on Twitter.
Ryder tweeted a photo along with this caption: “This pic is from last night b4 my match with [Mike Bennett] on #MainEvent.
“We treated it like we were wrestling on #Raw. Unfortunately, I suffered a knee injury.
“While the rest of the roster is flying to Saudi Arabia 2day for #WWEGRR, I’m flying back to Orlando to get a MRI.”

It is a bitter blow for Long Island Iced Z after he was out of action for almost six months last year due to a knee injury.
It remains unclear whether his latest setback is on the same one he previously damaged.
