Sting was injured during last night’s WWE Championship match against Seth Rollins at Night of Champions.
Towards the end of the match, Rollins delivered a powerbomb that sent Sting into the turnbuckles back-first. It was a high-impact bump that appeared to knock the wind out of the 56 year old legend. As the match continued, Sting was barely able to stay on his feet, which resulted in the referee stopping the match and a WWE trainer entering the ring to check on him.
Dave Meltzer has confirmed that Sting suffered a ‘significant’ neck injury that could be career-ended.
The match was restarted and went on for several more minutes, but the call was made to end the match early and Seth Rollins won with a small package.
Off camera, Sting was helped to the backstage area and received additional medical attention.
