Backstage Update on Joe Gacy Following Scary Moment on NXT – During the April 2 NXT episode, Oba Femi put his North American Championship on the line in a singles matchup against Joe Gacy. However, the anticipated bout took an unexpected and concerning turn.
In a pivotal moment of the match, Femi executed a modified powerbomb maneuver on Gacy, who unfortunately landed awkwardly on the back of his head. The severity of the impact immediately raised red flags, prompting the referee to halt the match to ensure Gacy’s well-being. Visibly shaken, Gacy was assisted out of the ring, but thankfully, he was able to walk back under his own power.
A subsequent report from Fightful Select confirmed the legitimacy of the injury scare, expressing major concerns that Gacy might have suffered a concussion as a result of the move. Although Gacy managed to walk off the injury, the incident cast uncertainty over his scheduled matchup against Shawn Spears at Stand & Deliver. While General Manager Ava Raine confirmed the match, WWE refrained from releasing any promotional graphics, acknowledging the possibility that the bout might be postponed.
Additionally, the injury scare disrupted a planned angle involving Femi, Josh Briggs, and Dijak, that was supposed to happen after the match to hype their triple threat match at Stand & Deliver. The fallout from tonight’s events has left fans and officials alike on edge, hoping for Gacy’s swift recovery and the successful execution of future matchups.
