Crawford was seen to by a WWE trainer for quite some time, before a stretcher was called for in order to extract him from the ring. The wrestler was responding to his trainers, but his arms and legs were reportedly not moving. A fan was later informed that Crawford was jetted out to receive proper medical attention.
Crawford, a former Marine, was recruited for WWE’s NXT program despite having no prior wrestling experience and is tipped for a bright future with the franchise.
