During TNA Wrestling’s post-Bound for Glory tapings on October 27, Chris Bey suffered a serious neck injury near the end of a tag team match. This incident was especially unfortunate, as it followed another major injury earlier in the night when El Hijo del Vikingo had to be taken out on a stretcher after his match against Trent Seven. In response to Bey’s injury, a GoFundMe has been set up to support him.
Chris Bey got hurt while fighting against The Hardys. The injury happened when he fell awkwardly during a move. Medical staff quickly came to help him, putting a neck collar on him and carefully placing him on a stretcher while fans looked on in shock.
Bey was taken to a hospital in Detroit, where he had surgery on his neck. While there aren’t many details about the surgery, reports state he is recovering. Updates about his condition are being kept private to respect his privacy.
On Monday, a GoFundMe campaign was launched with the aim of raising $30,000 to cover Chris Bey’s medical expenses. Just 21 hours after its creation, the fundraiser has already collected $26,815, making it likely to reach the $30,000 goal within the first 24 hours.
