On last night’s Raw’s the match between Sheamus and Humberto Carrillo came to an abrupt end when a spot went wrong. Carrillo attempted to sunset flip Sheamus off the apron and perhaps trying to protect Sheamus’ neck, who has previously been diagnosed with spinal stenosis he landed awkwardly. He clearly was struggling to move his legs fully, and with both men outside the ring, the referee had to prematurely end the match and awarded the contest to the current United States Champion Sheamus. You can watch this for yourself below.
Overnight there was a lot of concern amongst fans, but multiple sources have since reported that after being medically evaluated backstage, Carrillo will be fine. The belief is he will not need to miss anytime, although as it took place on television, WWE may turn it into an angle.
This is obviously great news for Carrillo, who moved down the card once Paul Heyman lost his creative position on June 11, 2020. Since then, he has spent most of the previous 12 months on Main Event wrestling other neglected talents like Angel Garza, Drew Gulak, and Ricochet. Under the ECW head honcho’s watch, Carrillo wrestled AJ Styles and Seth Rollins upon his 2019 main roster call-up and feuded with Andrade for the United States Championship. Seemingly, WWE has plans again for him as on the April 19th episode of Raw, he began a program with Sheamus.
