Fans have reacted to a potentially 'tragic' botch involving WWE Superstar Nathan Frazer during the latest episode of NXT.
The Global Heritage Invitational Tournament kicked off this week as Frazer faced Joe Coffey in a Group B encounter. During the match, the 25-year-old was running across the ropes when his neck phased through the top rope by mistake. The incident could have been hazardous as it might have severely hurt Frazer's neck. Luckily, he was able to shrug off the pain and continued the contest.

WWE Superstar Nathan Frazer suffers a huge defeat on NXT
Joe Coffey defeated Nathan Frazer during the latest episode of NXT.
WWE announced that the NXT Global Heritage Invitational will take place over the next four weeks. The tournament winner will earn an opportunity at the NXT Heritage Cup Championship against Noam Dar. The Group B encounter between Frazer and Coffey took place this week.
The match saw back-and-forth action as both men traded numerous moves. Frazer gained control of the bout when he dropkicked Coffey into the announce desk outside the ring. He then attempted the Phoenix Splash but missed, allowing Coffey to bounce back.
Frazer ultimately fell short against Coffey as the latter executed the All the Best for the Bells to secure the win and score two crucial points. The other match of the tournament tonight was a Group A encounter between Charlie Dempsey and Butch.
The Brawling Brutes member secured the vital win after delivering the Bitter End to his opponent. It will be interesting to see who becomes the number one contender for Noam Dar's NXT Heritage Cup Championship in the coming weeks.
