Eddie Edwards suffered a severe injury on Impact Wrestling.
Edwards faced Sami Callihan during the most recent set of tapings of Impact. Weapons got involved during the course of the match. Callihan knocked out Edwards in one spot and a chair was on top of him. Callihan wielded a baseball bat. He intended to strike the chair with the bat and for Edwards to sell the injury. However, the bat bounced off of the chair and struck Edwards right in the face. The impact broke Edwards’ eye socket and orbital bone. It is unclear exactly how long Edwards will be out of action. We wish him a speedy recovery.
Last night was the first time I saw this. Before seeing it I thought I was lucky, now I KNOW IM LUCKY. Broke face broke nose but ill be ok https://t.co/JBjfngO4kG
