A recent report disclosed that former TNA World Champion Moose sustained an injury during a TNA X-Division Championship match against Leon Slater at the Sunday Slami Barry Pay-Per-View event.
According to Wrestling Observer Radio’s Brian Alvarez, Moose was hurt early in the match following a Hurricane Lana maneuver from the apron to the floor. He suffered back damage and held his hips after the fall. Despite the injury, Moose continued wrestling but had to skip several planned moves due to his condition.
Alvarez noted that many segments of the match were cut because they aggravated Moose’s injury. This sheds light on Moose’s post-show statement about needing to take a step back to recover properly.
Even with Moose injured, the match was highly praised and climaxed with Leon Slater winning, making him the youngest TNA X-Division Champion in the promotion’s history. Moose’s recovery time remains uncertain.
