What happened to Austin Theory during SmackDown match?

Austin Theory wrestled in a surprise match in the latest edition of WWE SmackDown as the former United States Champion clashed against Carmelo Hayes in a singles bout. However, the match ended abruptly, which generated a major concern among fans regarding the status of both superstars.

For those unaware, just a few hours before the show, reports surfaced that the company had planned a match between Carmelo and Theory for tonight's show. The reports came to fruition, and Melo made an unexpected appearance on the blue brand and wrestled against the former Money in the Bank winner.

Both the superstars delivered a classic performance in the match with a few bumps and jaw-dropping moments.

However, the conclusion of the match seemed to be something the Stamford-based company might not have planned as things ended up after both stars hit their necks hard on the ring surface. This scary incident took place when Austin Theory tried to deliver a top rope bump to Carmelo, leading up to both landing directly on their necks.

Just after this, the referee called off the match, and a medical doctor rushed inside the ring and started checking both the stars. It is important to note that there is no report or official confirmation regarding the status of both Austin Theory and Carmelo Hayes yet.

However, just after the match abruptly ended, Corey Graves, in his commentary, mentioned that further medical updates might be given through WWE's official social media accounts. He further advised fans not to try this anywhere in their personal lives.
