WWE has another talent sidelined due to injury. This time it is hitting the NXT brand.
JD McDonagh will be out of action due to an eye injury. As seen on this week’s episode of NXT, the former NXT Cruiserweight Champion competed in a match against Carmelo Hayes, which featured the return of Ilya Dragunov. However, JD came short due to the returning star getting revenge.
The angle was done to reintroduce the former NXT UK Champion and to write off JD from TV.
JD is dealing with an eye injury and he took to Twitter to share the news and show off the injury.
.@WWENXT fans attending Live Events in Tampa/Citrus Springs this weekend – Unfortunately, after a sneak attack on Tuesday, I've got a detached retina in my right eye.
Waiting on a treatment plan, but I estimate a 10-14 day recovery time.
10-14 days, @UNBESIEGBAR_ZAR. Count em. pic.twitter.com/P4GfpbnkUG
