Octagón Jr. suffered a scary neck injury during the Fatal 5-Way match at AAA Noche de los Grandes, forcing officials to stop and remove him from the match on a stretcher.
The incident happened during the taping for Week Two of AAA Noche de los Grandes in Monterrey. Octagón Jr. landed badly after taking a DDT from the highest point of the top rope with Joaquín Wilde, leaving him down on the mat as the match continued around him.
The situation quickly turned serious, as the referee threw up the X sign to call for medical help. Octagón Jr. was then stretchered out while his neck was immobilized, making it clear there was real concern over his condition.
At the time of writing, there is no official update regarding the extent of Octagón Jr.’s injuries. Right now, it’s unclear whether he suffered structural damage to his neck or if the precautionary measures were taken to prevent further injury until he could receive a full medical evaluation.
Octagón Jr. has become one of AAA’s most dependable stars in recent years and has been heavily featured following WWE’s acquisition of the promotion. Any extended absence would be a massive setback both for the performer and for AAA programming moving forward.
So for now, the world of professional wrestling is waiting for additional medical updates as concerns continue to grow following the scary scene in Monterrey. We wish Octagón Jr. a full and speedy recovery.
