Tonight’s WWE NXT The New Year Evil main event saw Finn Balor defeat Kyle O’Reilly to retain the NXT Title.
The brutal fight lasted just over 17 minutes, with no commercial breaks, and Balor was discovered and bled from the head in the end. Balor worked on O’Reilly’s jaw for most of the match, while O’Reilly worked on his arm. The doctors also checked O’Reilly during and after the match.
WWE has just announced that both contestants were taken to a local hospital after the end of the New Year. It has been noticed that O’Reilly is taking x-rays of his jaw, while Balor is examining his arm.
“BREAKING: After that grueling main event, both @FinnBalor AND @KORcombat are on their way to the hospital. Kyle is doing an x-ray of his jaw and Finn is examining his arm. #NXTNYE, “announced WWE.
Balor looked fine after the fight, while O’Reilly sold the jaw injury. We will keep you updated on any developments.
