After a brutal match at the TNA Wrestling: Rebellion event, former WWE superstar Eric Young was left in bad shape and had to visit a plastic surgeon. The 44-year-old, who is a former world champion, suffered a gruesome injury during his Full Metal Mayhem match with fellow veteran wrestler Frankie Kazarian.
The match between the two rivals was intense and bloody, living up to its wild stipulation. However, it seems that the cost of the match was too high for Young. During the match, he took Kazarian's Flux Capacitor move from the top rope to a wooden table in the middle of the ring. Unfortunately, the landing went wrong and Young's ear caught on the edge of the table, causing a severe laceration.
Blood immediately started pouring from his ear, and after the match, it was confirmed that he needed a plastic surgeon to reattach his ear. Gia Miller, the broadcaster for TNA Wrestling, provided a medical update the next day, saying, "Eric Young suffered a severe laceration to the ear. He did see a plastic surgeon who attached the severed ear."
Due to his injury, Young was no longer cleared to wrestle, and fans flooded social media with messages of concern for his well-being. Fans and fellow wrestlers alike expressed their hopes for Young's recovery and praised the referee for quickly finishing the match so that Young could receive medical attention.
This injury adds to Young's long history with TNA Wrestling, where he has been a fan favorite since his debut 20 years ago. He also had a brief stint with WWE from 2016 to 2020 and returned to TNA in 2022. However, he has been open about his frustrations with creative decisions, especially during his time with the SAnitY group.
At the Rebellion event, there were other injuries as well. Gia revealed that Josh Alexander suffered a severe ear laceration and contusions to his ear and eardrum during his match with Hammerstone. However, he was cleared to wrestle, along with his opponent who passed all concussion protocol tests.
On the other hand, Brian Myers, formerly known as Curt Hawkins in WWE, is not cleared to wrestle due to an undetermined shoulder injury sustained during his tag team match with Eddie Edwards against Speedball Mike Bailey and Trent Seven. He will undergo an MRI to determine the extent of his injury.
