WWE star JD McDonagh has announced that he will be out “for a couple months” after suffering several serious injuries during Monday (January 27) night’s episode of Raw.
The Irish wrestler, 34, was performing in the World Tag Team Championship alongside his Judgement Day partner Dominik Mysterio against the defending champions, the War Raiders. McDonagh attempted to take out Ivar, who was standing outside the ring, with a daring springboard moonsault.
As McDonagh landed, he bounced back and smacked his neck on the announcing table before briefly falling limp. He managed to get up and finish the fight, which he and Mysterio ended up losing.
Backstage after the match, he reportedly collapsed and was taken to the hospital.
McDonagh has since issued a health update on X/Twitter, thanking fans for “the messages and concern,” adding: “I’m good. I’ve got a couple of broken ribs and a punctured lung, so I’m going to be out for a couple months.
“All things considered, it could have been a lot worse, so I’m grateful for that. See ya in a bit.”
