WWE fans took to Twitter, fearing the worst after a 29-year-old star was brutalized on the latest NXT episode. The wrestler in question is Von Wagner.
Wagner locked horns with Bron Breakker in the main event of NXT in a no DQ bout. While the WWE Universe knew the match would be brutal, no one thought it would end with Wagner in hospital. Breakker won the No DQ match by pinning his opponent.
However, he did not hold back after the bell rang, brutally hitting his opponent with steel steps, which forced WWE to switch off the live coverage.
Following the show, WWE posted an update on Twitter that Von Wagner had been taken to the nearest local hospital, adding that they would update everyone on his condition shortly.
"Von Wagner is currently being taken to a local hospital for evaluation and we will provide an update when available."
