Eric André Was Concussed After John Cena Threw Him ‘Through a Shelf’

John Cena is currently a bona fide star in Hollywood and he has made a name for himself in Tinseltown for good reason. With that said, Eric André was concussed and sent to the hospital after John Cena threw him through a shelf.

Over six seasons of The Eric Andre Show, comedian Eric André has suffered various injuries. In this week’s issue of PEOPLE, Eric André recalls a notable incident from season 5.

During an episode where John Cena threw him through a shelf, Andre initially made it through the stunt unscathed. However, because they forgot to sandbag the shelf’s metal frame, it tipped over and struck him in the head, resulting in a concussion and a hospital visit.

“It’s pretty common. I got through the shelf okay, but we forgot to sandbag the shelf — the frame of the shelf — so the metal frame tipped over and knocked me in the head. I got a concussion and went to the hospital.”
