Ahmed Johnson Recovering After Car Accident – Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Ahmed Johnson is on the road to recovery after being involved in a car accident on September 29, where he was struck by a drunk driver. The update was shared through Book Pro Wrestlers on Facebook, with Johnson, real name Tony Norris, reassuring fans that he is “okay” following the incident.
“When you have the Lord on your side, nothing can harm you,” Johnson stated. His words helped ease concerns from fans who had grown worried after hearing the news of the accident.
Johnson rose to fame during WWE’s “New Generation” era of the mid-1990s. After debuting in late 1995, he made an immediate impact with his explosive style and power. In 1996, he etched his name into WWE history by defeating Goldust to win the Intercontinental Championship, becoming the first African-American wrestler to hold a singles title in the company. His momentum led him to main event several pay-per-view shows and positioned him as a contender for the WWF Championship. He also became a member of the iconic Nation of Domination faction.
However, Johnson’s career was often disrupted by injuries, which prevented him from fully realizing his main event potential. He left WWE in early 1998 and later had a short run in WCW before stepping away from professional wrestling. Despite the setbacks, his legacy from that era remains significant, and he was even featured in two WWE video games during his active years.
Since retiring, Tony Norris has largely remained out of the public spotlight, making his recent statement all the more notable. Fans who remember his impactful run in WWE will be glad to hear he is recovering, and we extend our best wishes for his continued health and recovery.
