The latest tapings of TNA Impact saw two major names face injuries, in huge setbacks both to the respective talent and the promotion as a whole. The tapings took place one day after TNA’s Bound for Glory pay-per-view, which saw the Hardys win Tag Title gold while Joe Hendry came up short in his pursuit of the TNA World Title, thanks to a WWE Hall of Famer.

At Bound for Glory, ‘Speedball’ Mike Bailey retained the TNA X-Division Championship against El Hijo del Vikingo in an excellent match. During the tapings, Vikingo looked to bounce back when he took on Trent Seven. Fans in attendance took to social media to share that Vikingo suffered an injury and the match was halted when the referee signaled for medical aid. Tommy Dreamer and several others rushed to help out and Vikingo was stretchered away.



Later on in the tapings, ABC (Ace Austin and Chris Bey) took on Matt and Jeff Hardy with the TNA World Tag Team Championships on the line. During the match, Bey went down hard following what appeared to be a mistimed spot. Medical personnel rushed into the ring to attend to Bey who was carefully placed in a neck collar.



These unfortunate injuries only highlight the risks that a professional wrestler takes every time they step foot between those ropes. We’re wishing both Vikingo and Bey speedy recoveries, and hope to provide more details as they become publicly available.
