TK Cooper was injured during a high-risk spot off the top rope at PROGRESS Wrestling’s first-ever show in New York City. According to fans in attendance, the match was immediately stopped after the referee threw up the “X” sign and eventually restarted as a handicap match.
TK Coopers ankle is bent backwards…. emergency is happening, people are panicking.

Just hours before the show, it was announced that current WWE United Kingdom Champion Pete Dunne would not be able to wrestle at this weekend’s shows but he would be appearing. PROGRESS co-owner announced that Dunne was injured at a show Friday night and required stitches on his head.
Here is the spot where Dunne was injured on Friday:

We heard from a couple of fans at the show saying that it was very hot and at least one person passed out, apparently from the heat.
