WWE star taken to hospital after match

JD McDonagh suffers a dangerous lung injury on Monday Night RAW and will be out for a long time.

There was a moment of shock during the last edition of the WWE show Monday Night RAW before the Royal Rumble at the weekend!

Former Cruiserweight and Tag Team Champion JD McDonagh had to be taken to hospital after a fight on Monday night: the Irishman injured his lung as a result of a broken rib and will be out of action for several months.

JD McDonagh seriously injured

McDonagh challenged the tag team champions The War Raiders at RAW together with Dominik Mysterio and took an unplanned hard hit: Early in the match, he crashed neck first into one of the commentator’s tables when his landing failed during the Moonsault somersault.

McDonagh continued the match and also sent the paramedics away, but as was leaked shortly after the show, McDonagh was taken to hospital.

As McDonagh himself finally announced via social media, he suffered broken ribs and, in connection with this, a pneumothorax, a puncture in the lung – which, depending on the severity, can even be life-threatening.

In McDonagh’s case, a months-long break from fighting was prescribed in any case – and the member of the Judgment Day group made it clear that he was lucky to have only a minor injury: “It could have been much worse and I’m grateful that it’s not the case. See you soon!”

WWE RAW: Cody Rhodes in the crossfire

The War Raiders defended their title with a pinfall against Mysterio, otherwise WWE Champion Cody Rhodes played the main role in the show before his ladder match against Kevin Owens on Saturday.

The title fight was fueled by the fact that Owens’ long-time companion Sami Zayn got into a tricky situation with Rhodes: he accidentally missed his special move Helluva Kick, which was actually intended for the evasive rival Drew McIntyre – and fueled speculation as to whether he would switch sides again on Saturday to join Owens, who had promised him a title shot in prospect.

The RAW show then ended with an intense verbal duel between Rhodes and CM Punk, one of the favorites to win the Royal Rumble and a potential WrestleMania showdown against Rhodes.

Another piece of news announced on RAW: In the course of the current “transfer window”, which is scheduled to close over the weekend, Zelina Vega is leaving RAW and her faction LWO and will be active on the Friday show SmackDown in the future.
