Joe Gacy suffered an apparent injury during his match against Oba Femi on this week’s episode of WWE NXT, and a new report has an update on him.
The match ended awkwardly when the referee threw up the ‘X’ sign after checking on Gacy following a slam by Femi resulting in Gacy’s head hitting the mat.
Fightful Select is reporting that the injury scare was legitimate and that officials were worried about a concussion.
Gacy walked to the back on his own, and the announcement of a scheduled match for Stand & Deliver between him and Shawn Spears, who interfered during the match, was briefly withheld.
The injury scare reportedly caused some necessary changes as there was supposed to be a segment between Femi and his challengers Dijak and Josh Briggs following the match.
Instead, the segment was filmed backstage on short notice and Gacy also featured in a segment where he informed Ava that he was fine and asked to face Spears at Saturday’s pay-per-view event in Philadelphia, PA.
Speaking of WrestleMania, bodybuilder Joey Swoll has announced that he will be at the Showcase of Immortals following his recent spat with Grayson Waller & Austin Theory.
Swoll, a bodybuilder and fitness coach, called out Waller and Theory after the duo filmed themselves at the gym. Waller tweeted,
“This giant flop acting all tough behind his phone, come find us idiot!
Also Joey Swoll fans are somehow both uglier and cringier than the Swifties”
Swoll later responded with a video noting that he will see the two at WrestleMania 40, as you can see below:
