Taka Michinoku had a rough night that quickly turned into a nightmare after he was involved in a serious car crash that left his vehicle totaled and sent him to the hospital.

The forner WWE Superstar shared photos showing the damage, including a collision between two vehicles on a wet city street and the aftermath inside his car, where airbags deployed and blood was visible following the impact. The images show just how hard the crash hit, with the front ends of both vehicles smashed together and the interior filled with deployed airbags.

According to Taka, the chaos started even before the accident happened. He explained that he had already been dealing with problems after finishing a match, including losing his wallet and house keys before finally heading home — only for things to get even worse moments later. After describing the confusion leading up to the crash, Taka detailed how suddenly the situation turned dangerous.

“After the match, my wallet was missing—total chaos! Thought I found it, but then my house keys were gone—more chaos! Finally found them and was heading home when CRASHHHHH!! A car suddenly slammed into me out of nowhere 💥 Airbag deployed, but I took a brutal hit to the face with blood everywhere—ambulance time 😭 My car’s totaled, can’t even drive it…What a nightmare…How am I supposed to get around starting tomorrow?”

The photos he shared make it clear this wasn’t a minor accident. The airbags deployed inside the vehicle, and the front-end damage shows how violent the impact was. Despite the scary scene, the fact that he was able to post an update afterward suggests he avoided even more serious injuries, though he clearly took a hard hit to the face during the crash.

Now, Taka is left dealing with the aftermath — including a destroyed car and figuring out transportation moving forward. The situation adds another unexpected setback following what was already a chaotic night.
