NXT Star Possibly Injured During Tonight’s Live Event

July 20, 2017

According to correspondents in attendance for tonight’s WWE NXT live event in Cocoa, Florida, Buddy Murphy appeared to have suffered some sort of ankle or leg injury, as he went down during his tag team main event match with Kassius Ohno vs Hideo Itami and The Velveteen Dream.

Following the injury, a WWE trainer came down to assist Murphy, but he appeared to insist on staying in the match. Referee Drake Wuertz then came down to ringside, and appeared to convince Murphy to leave the match to get the injury tended to. Kassius Ohno finished the match by himself:
