Stacks is back in the ring just over three weeks after he was stretchered out of an NXT live event in Sudbury, Ontario.
Channing “Stacks” Lorenzo competed at the NXT live event at the MLK Center in Gainesville, Florida, on Saturday, Nov. 7, according to results from Wrestling Bodyslam. He also marked the return on his Instagram Story. The show closed with a Traditional Survivor Series 4-on-4 Tag Team Elimination Match, and Stacks teamed with his Birthright partner Uriah Connors and NXT Tag Team Champions The Vanity Project, Brad Baylor and Ricky Smokes.
They faced Shiloh Hill, Zilla Fatu and The Dropouts, Scott Green and Tyran Tuckey. Stacks’ team lost, and Fatu was the lone survivor. The results did not say when Stacks was eliminated or how long the match ran. Fatu’s night came days after John Cena invited him to the John Cena Classic.
Stacks was hurt on Oct. 16 during an eight-man tag at the NXT live event in Sudbury. He took a back body drop over the top rope, and fans in attendance said he hit the ring post on the way down. The match was stopped, and he was taken out on a stretcher in a neck brace.
His first update since the injury came on his Instagram Story, where he joked about his doctor’s concerns and wrote that “the show goes on.” Gainesville was the first time he has been in the ring since.
WWE has not disclosed what Stacks injured, and he has not said when he was cleared to return.
