WWE Superstar Escapes Fatal Injury on NXT
Follow Us
WWE NXT announced a six-man tag team match for their latest episode. It was an evenly poised match with all six Superstars trying their best to subdue the opponent. This was until the shocking moment when Jake Atlas almost broke his neck.
Joaquin Wilde took a running leap to push down Jake Atlas from the ringside. This incident could have ended with a severe injury had Scott and Adonis not been there to break the fall. Even the commentators’ table was too close to the ring. If WWE NXT had to pull off something as insane as this, it could have taken the scenario to the ramp side.
Atlas landed squarely on his neck but somehow survived the fall by going over to the other side.

There was a time when Joaquin Wilde could not have done this. He severed ruptured his colon in 2017 two years prior to signing the contract with WWE. The injury was damaging to both his life and his career inside the ring.
