JD McDonagh, a WWE wrestler, suffered an injury live on TV after a move in the performance went unexpectedly wrong.
WWE wrestler JD McDonagh was injured in a shocking video during WWE Raw’s World Tag Championship at State Farm Arena in Atlanta on January 28.
He was in the ring with Dominik Óscar Gutiérrez when a move went wrong, causing McDonagh to get injured.
The two were attempting to perform a moonsault press, a backflip onto the floor. However, the WWE wrestler fell backward and hit his head on the commentator’s table.
The video shows the moment when McDonagh’s head bends forward before he collapses to the floor.
“Someone needs to check McDonagh after this. He was lucky he didn’t break his neck,” said commentator Michael Cole. “That looked horrible,” commented one user on X (formerly Twitter).
NDTV Sports reported that McDonagh managed to get up and finish the match despite the intense shock. The WWE wrestler posted on his social media that he sought medical attention and thanked the supportive messages.
“I’ve got a few broken ribs and a punctured lung, so I’ll be out for a few months. Considering everything, it could have been much worse, so I’m grateful for that. See you soon,” McDonagh announced.
