NXT’s Stacks Hospitalized After Scary Injury at House Show

“Lorenzo took a backdrop or something similar over the top rope to the floor, landed badly, and medical staff subsequently placed him in a neck brace and stretchered him out of the arena,” reported Bryan Alvarez via f4wonline.com.

Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo was hospitalized following an incident at a WWE NXT house show in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada, where an eight-man tag team match was stopped after an in-ring injury.

Simultaneous Stoppage on SmackDown Broadcast

The card in Ontario coincided with another in-ring stoppage during Friday night’s SmackDown broadcast. R-Truth was wrestling Damian Priest when he was unable to continue after connecting with a missile dropkick. SEScoops noted that Truth landed awkwardly during the attempt. While he was conscious and moving after the spot, the match was thrown out by officials. Following the stoppage, Priest grabbed a steel chair but was intercepted by Fraxiom, who checked on Truth before Priest exited to end the segment.

Limited Medical Updates from Promotion Officials

Medical updates on both Lorenzo and R-Truth remained limited as of Friday evening, leaving their immediate recovery timelines unconfirmed by promotion officials.
