Former WWE star Kevin Fertig appeared as a surprise in last night's Ohio Valley Wrestling Nightmare Rumble and was injured during his time in the bout.

Fertig announced on social media he "tore his bicep off the bone" and would be undergoing surgery this week.

On his Facebook account, Fertig wrote:

Fertig, 44, performed as Mordecai and Kevin Thorn for WWE, most notably as part of the WWE ECW roster.    He had runs with the company from 2002-2005 and was then brought back as Thorn for the WWE ECW brand until being released in early 2009.  His most notable appearance would be the ECW Originals vs. New Breed bout at Wrestlemania 23 in Detroit.

Fertig now works in real estate in the Indianapolis area.
