It looks like NXT UK Superstar Alexander Wolfe may have suffered a concussion or a stinger during tonight’s WWE Worlds Collide main event.
The big eight-man main event saw Imperium (Wolfe, NXT UK Champion WALTER, Fabian Aichner, Marcel Barthel) defeat The Undisputed Era (NXT Champion Adam Cole, NXT Tag Team Champions Kyle O’Reilly & Bobby Fish, Roderick Strong) after WALTER pinned Fish following chaos with everyone involved, except Wolfe.
Most of the match was worked as a 4-on-3 Handicap Match as Wolfe was taken out early on after Fish dropped him face-first into the mat. Fish delivered more brief offense and covered Wolfe for a pin, but it looked as if Wolfe almost didn’t kick out. The injury may have happened when Fish kicked Wolfe in the chin. Referee Drake Wuertz noticed something was wrong with Wolfe as he mounted him and backed Fish away. Wuertz then called for medics to come down and Wolfe was evaluated at ringside for a few minutes before the medics took him to the back. The announcers then confirmed that Wolfe was out of the match, and that the bout would continue with just three members of Imperium.
There’s no word yet on what exactly happened to Wolfe, but he never returned to the ring and didn’t celebrate with Imperium as Worlds Collide went off the air. Stay tuned as we will keep you updated on his status.
UPDATE:
Triple H has confirmed that WWE NXT UK Superstar Alexander Wolfe suffered an injury. “I will say that we are lucky that’s the only injury that came [out of that match],” Triple H said. “Those guys beat the tar out of each other.”
He continued, “Yeah, Alexander Wolfe got caught on the chin early, by a combo of Roderick Strong and Bobby Fish, and just got knocked out. Our medical staff came out there and got him outta there, and Imperium had to go 3-on-4 against The Undisputed Era, arguably the most dominant faction that you’ve seen, if not ever, in a long, long period of time, and still were able to pull it out.”
Wolfe took to Twitter after the show and commented on the injury, noting that he’s fine.
I'm fine. 👍
I wish I could have finished the match but safety first.
Thanks to @WWEDrakeWuertz & @wwe medical for taking care of me. You guys did an unbelievable great job today as always.Most importantly it was my own fault. #ChinUp #WorldsCollide #NXT #NXTUK #IMPERIUM
