Ricochet and Fallon Henley are both believed to be under WWE concussion protocol following recent matches.
Ricochet’s injury came during the Intercontinental Championship #1 contender four-way match on WWE Raw that also featured The Miz, Bronson Reed and Ivar.
It has been reported that Ricochet kicked out of the spot which was supposed to lead to The Miz and Ivar being both declared winners, as Ricochet wasn’t supposed to kick out.
With The Miz being declared the sole winner on Raw, he goes on to face Gunther at Survivor Series in a match that was made official in a separate announcement to the other matches for the upcoming PLE, potentially because of the confusion.
The original plan was for Miz and Ivar to have a deciding one-on-one match next week, although the plan was for Miz to win that, so the end result of him facing Gunther has ended up being the same.
In the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, Dave Meltzer addressed Ricochet’s condition, writing:
Ricochet is believed to have had a concussion. He had no memory of anything that happened in much of the match, but other than that, was said to be feeling fine. He’s in concussion protocol, there is no time frame when he will be able to wrestle again. It could be this weekend and it could be a log time, but the hope was it wouldn’t be long.
On the November 7 episode of WWE NXT, Fallon Henley faced Tiffany Stratton in an Iron Survivor Challenger qualifying match, during which Henley reportedly suffered an injury.
Meltzer covered what happened to Henley in that match in the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, writing:
Fallon Henley was also said to be in concussion protocol. On the 11/7 show in her match with Tiffany Stratton, when Stratton did her moonsault finisher, Stratton’s knee nailed Henley near the cheekbone and knocked her silly. You could see Stratton concerned and Henley rocked for a moment from it.
Stratton won and qualified for the women’s Iron Survivor Challenge, as did Dijak for the men’s version with a win over Tyler Bate.
Highlights from the qualifier on NXT can be seen below this news story.
JJA Sport Studio wishes Ricochet and Fallon Henley well in their recovery.
