'THAT WAS NASTY!'... FANS AGHAST AS FORMER CHAMPION PUNCTURES LUNG AND CRACKS RIBS IN BRUTAL WWE RAW SPOT

A horrendous spot gone wrong on WWE Raw led to a star collapsing and being admitted to the hospital.

JD McDonagh and Dominik Mysterio competed for the Tag Team Championships against The War Raiders on the January 27 edition of WWE Raw.

While the Judgment Day lost their match against Erik and Ivar, that was the least of McDonagh’s troubles in Atlanta.

The Irishman took a nasty bump on the commentary table after a moonsault led to him crashing the back of his skull.

Fans have reacted to the nasty spot and commended McDonagh for his response to the genuinely horrible injury.

Fans stunned by JD McDonagh’s reaction to brutal spot

While the spot happened fairly early in the match, the Irishman continued the match which impressed fans in attendance and those watching from home.

On X, one fan wrote: “JD McDonagh collapsed backstage after that insane bump. What a legend for finishing that match!” while another said: “That was a hell of a performance out there.”

Another wrote: “That looked terrible! I can’t believe he finished the match honestly” and one said: “It was very scary to watch. Tough as hell to finish that match."

McDonagh has been part of WWE’s main roster since 2023 when he was brought into the Judgment Day by Finn Balor.

WWE stars react to JD McDonagh’s horrendous injury

While the live audience strongly reacted to McDonagh’s response to his nasty table bump, the wrestlers watching on from the back were equally impressed.

Chad Gable took to X to share his admiration for the star, saying: “JD McDonagh is remarkable”, while backstage producer Gregory Helms wrote: “JD McDonagh is a f’n stud!”.

McDonagh is expected to be out for a couple of months, but he’ll surely be welcomed back with open arms by the WWE universe after his tremendous show of courage.
