Drew McIntyre had a rough night on Monday. Randy Orton took out his frustrations from SummerSlam and delivered three punt kicks to the WWE Champion. Just one has been enough to put men out for months but McIntyre took three.

Now, WWE has provided an update on his condition. According to a report from WWE.com, McIntyre has suffered a hairline jaw fracture as a result of the attacks from Orton. Here is their official statement:

“Ahead of WWE Payback, WWE Digital has learned Drew McIntyre sustained a hairline jaw fracture as a result of the three kicks to the skull from Randy Orton on Monday Night Raw.

Orton has gotten himself involved with Keith Lee. Lee made his debut on Monday as well, and had his first match against Orton.
