Chris Dickinson seemingly suffered an injury at NJPW Battle in the Valley on November 13.
On Saturday night, Dickinson and Brody King faced Bateman and Mysterioso. During the bout, Dickinson hit a frog splash before Bateman pinned him. After the bell, Dickinson stayed down and required ice to be applied to his hamstring area. He left the arena on a stretcher, and after the show, he asked the fans for “positive vibes.”
Need every and all positive vibes in the world right now. Please ?❤️
